AGROS project concludes contribution to sustainable agri
Added on 17 April 2024
Dutch agriculture, horticulture and livestock farming face major challenges in the coming years. Society demands healthy, sustainably produced products. At the same time, companies face increasingly complex regulations, increased costs and a lack of qualified personnel. To meet these challenges, the sector must switch to sustainable production systems based on data and intelligence. This is the only way for entrepreneurs to maintain oversight of their system and remain economically viable. In the past few years, the AGROS project has examined how technology can contribute to this transition, and researchers have looked at how different sectors can learn from each other.

For horticulture, researchers worked on "autonomous greenhouses" in which cultivation was controlled by intelligent algorithms. A successful validation trial took place last year.
