Proactive system to forecast and reduce environmental footprint while maximising agriculture performance

Descrizione del progetto

Rafforzare l’agricoltura di precisione

La politica agricola comune (PAC) dell’Unione europea si propone di sostenere un’agricoltura resiliente, sostenibile e competitiva. Tuttavia, la popolazione in crescita e i cambiamenti climatici rendono più difficile garantire una produzione alimentare e uno sviluppo rurale sostenibili. Ciò richiede oggi agli agricoltori di applicare alcuni metodi piuttosto costosi e dispendiosi in termini di tempo. Gli strumenti software di agricoltura di precisione potrebbero agevolare gli agricoltori nel monitoraggio, nella gestione e nella massimizzazione dei rendimenti e dei ricavi delle colture, nonché preservare le risorse. In tale contesto, il progetto Ceres, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà uno strumento di controllo per un’agricoltura di precisione tramite software progettato specificatamente per i tecnici dall’azienda eFoodPrint. Includerà una dimensione di sostenibilità per affrontare le urgenti sfide agricole, riducendo al contempo i costi e i tempi dei servizi tecnici avanzati e limitando le spese della PAC di fino al 40 %.

Obiettivo

To ensure enough food production and limit its environmental impact, EU invests half of its total budget in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Yet, farmers struggle to comply with legislation and implement sustainable and cost-efficient production models and seek advice from technical experts. Technicians must therefore monitor the farms and analyse complex systems, which is time-consuming and challenging. Software Precision farming has recently emerged as a tool which enables to monitor, analyse and optimise agricultural production and perfectly fits with technician needs. Nowadays, however, farm management options target producers offering a service to substitute technicians. This strategy obviates that technicians are high skilled professionals conscious of both the forthcoming agricultural endeavours and the potential of management software to tackle them. Thus, it is through them that eventually producers would get involved in precision farming. Through Ceres we aim at developing a software precision farming management tool designed for technicians which integrates a sustainability dimension to tackle agricultural challenges. Ceres is a software designed specifically for technicians to manage several farms and a wide range of factors influencing the supply chain. Ceres is a software designed specifically for technicians to manage all the factors involved in managing several farms, reducing expenditure in fertilization (up to 70%), water consumption (up to 30%) and phytosanitary products (30%) as well as delivering sustainability indexes, traceability and prediction tools. It will enable technicians to save up to 40% of their own time investment, being able to lower their cost services up to 35% and reach new clients (use of Ceres could reduce CAP expenses in 40%). eFoodPrint’s broad experience in the agro-food software enabled us to satisfied producers’ demands and raised their competitiveness. We forecasted a R.O.I of 5.5 with a pay-back period of 40 month
