Project description
Innovative software to advise farmers
The FAO suggests that more than 40 % of food crops are lost annually worldwide due to pests and plant diseases. However, the EU and country-specific regulations limit the number of chemicals that farmers can use against crop diseases. Farmers lack the time and knowledge to comply with all the rules and act accordingly. To help farmers through the process, the EIC-funded ROBI project will provide cutting-edge software, an AI-driven digital advisory tool built on AGRIVI proprietary algorithms, agricultural and crop protection products knowledge base. Based on AI pest risk detection, the innovation will suggest the best time to spray, which protection products to use, the regulations to follow, and the safe time to harvest.
Objective
According to the FAO, up to 40% of food crops worldwide are lost annually due to pests and plant diseases, resulting in 1.3 bn tons/year of food wasted. At the same time, EU and country-specific regulations limit the amount of chemicals that farmers can use to fight crop diseases. Farmers lack the time and knowledge to make sure to comply with all rules and chose the best course of action. Thanks to EICA Agrivi will develop a brand new software, an AI-driven digital advisory tool that will be built on our proprietary algorithms, agricultural and CPP knowledge base and will guide farmers through the whole process: when to spray based on AI pest risk detection, which products to use, which rules must be respected, when is safe to harvest. A multidimensional impact is expected: improved productivity and food safety, less post harvest food waste, decreased usage of pesticides, improved soil health and biodiversity.
