Imagine a smart GPS for soil nutrients that tells farmers exactly what their land needs and what it has too much of. Instead of guessing with fertilizers, this tool uses data from across Europe to balance the soil. It helps keep the land fertile while stopping harmful chemicals from leaking into the water and air.
Overfertilization damages human health and biodiversity while wasting money. Farmers lack a precise way to balance nutrients across different climates and soil types.
The NutriPlatform, a decision-support tool prototype, and NutriModels that quantify the impact of agronomic measures on nutrient budgets.
If you are a software provider dealing with a lack of precise nutrient guidance for users — this project developed the NutriPlatform that provides a decision-support tool for 40,000 farmers to optimize nutrient budgets.
If you are an advisor dealing with inconsistent soil data across different climates — this project developed NutriModels that quantify the impact of mitigation measures across 5 pilot regions in Europe.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with strict Zero Pollution regulations — this project developed a Mitigation Measures Catalogue that helps align product use with environmental targets.
Based on available project data, there is no information regarding the commercial pricing or cost of the tool.
Yes, the project aims to test the prototype with at least 40,000 farmers across Europe, indicating a high capacity for scale.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though it may be integrated into the existing EC promoted FaST tool.
The tool is designed to align with the Zero Pollution action plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy to reduce nutrient losses and pollution.
The project period runs from 2022-09-01 to 2026-12-31, with a mock-up version already launched between March 2024 and August 2025.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercial transition, featuring 17 partners from 10 countries. With a 29% industry ratio (5 industrial partners, including 4 SMEs), there is a strong link between academic research (6 universities, 4 research centers) and practical market application.
