Smart Farming

We have become accustomed to new technologies changing our lives in a wide variety of ways. A similar change is the concept of Smart Farming. Agroscope’s aim is to increase the competitiveness of Swiss agriculture by incorporating smart-farming technologies, developing new systems and offering decision support for practitioners.

In order to promote smart farming in the field and the shed, the Agroscope Tänikon site is working together with the Swiss Future Farm and the experimental station Smart Technologies, as well as a wide range of other partners.
