The AgroSense project's overarching idea focuses on agricultural land and agricultural resources integrated monitoring and management through the synergistic use of advanced remote and proximal sensors, which would assist in the digital transformation of crop production to achieve optimum crop yield and quality in a sustainable agricultural environment. The project will develop an extensive, diverse, and modern agro-technological platform that will provide the appropriate correlation of remote and proximal sensing data. It aims to cover both ends of the scale relevant to food production, precision farming, and the perspective of sustainable agriculture by developing advanced and new farm capacities that help the intensive farm sector optimize their external inputs, with the vision of fair economic competitiveness.
AgroSense seeks to deliver the integrated observation of agricultural land conditions and practices, on a local and regional scale, using annual (cotton and wheat) and perennial (vineyard) crops in the well-organized farms of the Agricultural University of Athens (Spata and Kopaida) targeting to yield growth and farmer’s income improvement through the appropriate surveillance of crop, water, soil, and fertilizer -agrochemical inputs control. The project will provide elements of innovation, necessary for the adoption of innovation in Greek reality (including Climate change parameters) and focuses mainly on the following:
