Our participation in the EU Test Farm project

We are pleased to announce that our company is officially participating in the EU Test Farm project , one of the most innovative agri-tech initiatives in Europe. This program provides us with the opportunity to test and develop the latest digital agricultural technologies, while contributing to the spread of sustainable and efficient farming.

What is the EU Test Farm project?

The EU Test Farm is a European initiative that connects agricultural innovation with real-world production environments. The project aims to test cutting-edge digital technologies – such as IoT-based sensors, precision farming systems and artificial intelligence – in real-world environments before they are widely introduced to the market.

Farms participating in the program, including our company , will be in direct contact with research institutes, technology developers and agricultural experts, ensuring that new solutions are truly tailored to the needs of farmers.

Why is participation important to us?

✅ Innovation first-hand: We have the opportunity to try and test the latest agricultural technologies before they reach the wider market.

✅ More sustainable farming: The project aims to use resources more efficiently, which contributes to environmental protection and sustainable production.

✅ Promoting digital agriculture: By using IoT, precision irrigation, and data-driven decision-making, we can introduce more accurate and efficient farming methods.

✅ International cooperation: We work with European agri-technology experts and research institutes, so we can stay up to date with the latest developments in the industry.

What technologies are we testing? – Soil sensor measurements to optimize irrigation

One of the main goals of our participation in the EIT Food Test Farms program is to develop precision irrigation using soil sensor measurements . Accurate monitoring of soil moisture is key to efficient water use, as it avoids over- or under-irrigation, which can adversely affect crop yields and soil health.

During testing, we focus on the following technologies:

Soil Moisture Sensors – Sensors installed at various depths in the soil continuously measure moisture content and send real-time data to a central dashboard. This information helps farmers determine exactly when and how much irrigation is needed.

Temperature and humidity monitoring – Soil temperature and air humidity also affect the efficiency of irrigation. Sensors monitor these factors as well, helping to avoid water waste and improve plant water uptake.

Automated irrigation system integration – We connect sensor data to a smart irrigation system that can automatically control water application. When the soil reaches a critical dryness level, the system starts watering, and stops it when it rains or has adequate moisture.

Data-driven decision-making – Collected data can be used to develop long-term irrigation strategies, taking into account the relationships between soil type, weather, and plant water needs.

The use of soil sensors not only increases the efficiency of irrigation , but also contributes to the spread of sustainable agricultural practices. Proper water management reduces water consumption, minimizes soil erosion and contributes to increasing yields.

What does this mean for farmers?

Our participation in the project means we have direct access to cutting-edge technologies, which are being tested and fine-tuned in real-world conditions. This creates an opportunity for our customers to benefit first-hand from the developments and implement them sooner on their own farms.

Join us in the future of agriculture!
