s; 44 papers were presented as e-posters and 8 papers were presented in the Doctoral Consortium. This volume of proceedings covers 115 of them. HAICTA 2022 was the 2nd Conference in the series to offer both in-person attendance, remote participation, and live streaming for those who couldn't attend, giving the chance for an even wider audience. Authors had the option to either present in-person at the Conference or remotely through teleconferencing. 47 papers were presented orally, while 27 through teleconferencing. All three days of the conference were live-streamed through the official YouTube channel of HAICTA and they remain available online and on-demand for anyone interested. We are grateful to all authors who submitted their papers to the conference and to all HAICTA 2022 participants. We would also like to thank the reviewers, members of the Scientific Committee, for ensuring the Proceedings quality. HAICTA 2022 used a blind review process, and each submitted abstract and short paper was evaluated by one and two reviewers, respectively, who provided their valuable comments.

We hope that the conference proceedings of HAICTA 2022 will promote the discussion within the scientific community regarding the integration of innovative ideas, solutions and practices, new digital technologies and research applications towards the development of sustainable and resilient environmental and agricultural systems.
