TP 02: Post-industrial agriculture: the best knowledge and digital technologies for reviving and strengthening best practices for regenerative agriculture
In this project, we aim to collaborate with technology companies offering innovative solutions in agricultural data collection and processing, research institutes and universities experienced in environmental monitoring and sustainable farming practices. We are also open to collaboration with farmers interested in effectively utilizing agricultural data to enhance productivity. This project aims to improve the efficiency of agricultural production through data-driven decision-making processes.
