The challenges

The agri-food chain is facing several challenges: climate change, European and national regulations, increase of production costs (input, energy, fuel), and environment protection.

For this reason, the digitization process of farms becomes necessary for a sustainable agri-food chain.

Climate change and extreme events (droughts, floods, late frosts)

Focus of the final consumer on sustainability and quality of products

European and national regulation promoting innovation

Environment protection

Thanks to Agricolus’ digital tools you can achieve these results

We established important partnership with companies working on enhancing the agri-food chain:

The advantages of digitization with Agricolus

Agricolus has been recognized by the United National Global Compact as one of the companies promoting sustainable development of the agri-food chain worldwide.

The use of the platform by farms contributes to the achievement of some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Reducing the environmental impact

  • Yield and prescription maps to increase production

  • Forecast models for fertilization and irrigation to reduce inputs

  • Forecast models for pests and disease for a prudent use of crop protection products

  • Weather data from sensors and forecasting to carry out preventive measures

Optimize farm’s management costs

  • Satellite imagery and vegetation indices to identify space-time variability and optimize in-field activities

  • Decision Support System (DSS) to reduce the inputs used

  • Task management to simplify the workflow

Improve the quality of food

  • Digital tools and machinery connection for traceability of the agri-food chain

  • Smart scouting with App to geolocate crop damages
