Imagine a smart brain for farms that tells farmers exactly when and how to water their crops using drones and sensors. It also finds ways to reuse waste water and special sponges to keep moisture in the soil. It's like giving a farm a high-tech weather and water dashboard to stop crops from drying out.
Farmers face increasing crop loss due to drought and inefficient water use. Current irrigation lacks the precision to adapt to local conditions and fails to utilize recycled water sources effectively.
An eXplainable-AI decision support system, Crop Digital Twins, and biological water-absorbing geocomposites for soil moisture retention.
If you are a software provider dealing with inefficient water usage in crops — this project developed a Crop Digital Twin and AI decision support system that optimizes irrigation across different European climates.
If you are a plant operator dealing with sewage sludge disposal — this project developed methods for the environmentally responsible recycling of sewage sludge and biowaste streams for agricultural use.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with soil water loss in arid regions — this project developed biological water-absorbing geocomposites to increase water retention in the ground.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the technologies are not provided.
Yes, the project validates technologies starting from the farm level and upscaling to large-scale and catchment levels, including a Biological Cleaning Plant.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding the IP or licensing agreements for the developed AI and geocomposites.
Yes, the project is specifically designed to be Green Deal compliant, focusing on environmentally responsible recycling and water management.
The project runs from February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2028.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward practical application, with 6 industry partners (35% ratio) and 5 SMEs, including the coordinator Synelixis SA. The mix of 3 universities and 3 research centers ensures a balance between academic innovation and commercial viability, while 5 'other' partners likely provide the necessary access to the 7 pilot sites across 9 countries.
