Insolagrin: Experimental Agrivoltaic Plant
The aim of the pilot plant is to show that it is possible to feed the population and supply the grid at the same time.
Drones for Targeted Plant Protection
Spraying drones offer new approaches for user- and environment-friendly plant protection.
Controlled traffic farming «light»
Automatic steering systems allow agricultural machinery to be driven in a more targeted manner, thereby protecting the soil.
Artificial intelligence (AI), sensor and drone technology and robotics should allow weeds to be controlled in a more environmentally friendly manner in future.
Digital Systems in Livestock Husbandry
Livestock husbandry boasts an ever-increasing range of commercially available digital systems.
Plant sensors are intended to provide the plants with just the amount of resources they actually need.
Internet-connected sensors measure fruit growth in real time. The data collected could be used to optimise the management of orchards and greenhouses.
