Descrizione del progetto

Creare innovazione agricola

La sicurezza alimentare è un problema crescente, a causa di una variegata serie di fattori, tra cui i cambiamenti climatici, la fragilità delle filiere e l’attività agricola. Infatti, l’aumento della produzione agricola per nutrire la popolazione globale in crescita ha evidenziato l’esigenza di soluzioni innovative. Partendo da questo presupposto, il progetto AGRARSENSE unirà le forze di grandi imprese, PMI e organizzazioni di ricerca e tecnologia. A tal fine, svilupperà numerose tecnologie, come strumenti agricoli automatizzati e sensori migliori, che contribuiranno a migliorare l’efficienza e a proteggere le catene del valore.

Obiettivo

Food security is a global challenge and is impacted by, rapidly compounding effects including climate change, supply chains, human labour shortages, driving the need for traceability, and technological innovation and automation to name a few. The latest important price increases of agricultural row products show the limitations of the available resources.

Through this Joint Undertaking, the AGRARSENSE consortium of 57 partners (including 4 affiliates) plan to take agricultural technology and productivity to the next level, beyond the State-of-the-Art, by combining some of the most advanced organisational capabilities from across European industrial 16 Large Enterprises, 25 SMEs and 16 Research & Technology Organisations (RTOs), from 15 countries.

The development of the most advanced sensory and autonomous agricultural capabilities requires a sophisticated governance structure, ensuring that all partners are aligned across Use Cases and Work Package deliveries. The AGRARSENSE consortium has one of the world’s leaders in Forestry automation, Komatsu, as Project Coordinator. The AGRARSENSE project goal of creating a holistic ecosystem of sensory and automated capabilities will further extend Europe’s lead in optimizing and securing agricultural value chains.

To drive such an ambitious impact agenda, we have selected seven Use Cases which will, collectively, contribute to solving the challenges outlined. These Use Cases are Greenhouses (UC1), Vertical Farming (UC2), Precision Viticulture (UC3), Agri robotics (UC4), Autoforest (UC5), Organic Soils & Fertilizers (UC6) and Water (UC7). These Use Cases are fused together by the most advanced hardware, software and system integration technologies, which will drive new solutions for partners and the collective AGRARSENSE impacts at scale.
