AgrifoodTEF helps bridge ideas to market by providing validation tools for #AI & #Robotics in #agriculture

[AgrifoodTEF @AgrifoodTEF]

🌿 In celebrating the #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate agrifoodTEF women and their role in the agritech sector.

✨ From #engineers to #lawyers, our team includes coordinators of national and European activities, business model developers, communication experts, senior scientists, and senior researchers. Together, they all contribute to the mission of agrifoodTEF: accelerating the adoption of AI and robotics in agriculture and food systems.

👩‍🔬 As #women still struggle to establish themselves in senior and #leadership roles, especially in the scientific field, agrifoodTEF is proud to have a team of women coming from all over #Europe.

🙏 Together, we are agrifoodTEF: https://t.co/KvgSVYjPbK

🛰️ Did you know that #drones are becoming essential in monitor and collect data in vineyards, livestock management, and arable farming?

🌿 As their importance is growing, so is their performance and security: for this reason, our next #training webinar organised by the French Node of agrifoodTEF will explore how drones and digital technologies will transform the agrifood sector, and see how @LNE_fr supports the secure and reliable deployment of drone technologies through advanced testing, simulation, and certification.

🔍 This session will provide an overview of the drone testing lifecycle, from initial laboratory simulations to real-world applications on experimental farms. Participants will discover how drones are used for precise data annotation and soil/crop monitoring, and gain an introduction to the critical principles of cybersecurity certification.

💡 With this training, you will learn how to:
🔸 Identify the three pillars of drone validation (simulation, laboratory/cage testing, and experimental farm trials).
🔸 Understand how drones support specific sectors, including viticulture, horticulture, livestock, and forage management.
🔸 Learn the methodologies for collecting, preparing, and annotating high-quality agricultural data via aerial platforms.
🔸 Recognise the importance of cybersecurity certification and the standards required to protect agricultural data and hardware.

🔍Our #weeklyservices are back!

This time, we're flying to Denmark, where the Danish Node through the @TeknologiskInst is doing a very important job helping farmers in collecting their environmental data in agricultural settings.

🌱Thanks to this service, agricultural researchers and farmers can gain detailed insights on environmental factors affetting the overall efficiency of their farms and facilities.

👉With specialised technical systems and expert knowledge, costumers can measure and analyse various environmental parameters and obtain data-driven results that can support and drive their agricultural strategies.

🌱Today, modern farming needs smart soil management to boost yields and reduce environmental impact - but traditional soil analysis is often expensive and time-consuming.

🌿QZ Solutions, a Polish tech company, is changing the game with SoilEO: a precision agriculture system that uses hyperspectral imaging + AI to map soil nutrient content with high accuracy.

🤝With support from the agrifoodTEF Polish Node, QZ Solutions fine-tuned their models and optimised SoilEO’s algorithms: a collaboration that significantly improved the accuracy and reliability of recommendations for farmers, especially when it comes to fertilisation.

🔍The system is now ready for deployment, with 20+ users expected by 2027 - proving that #AI and #Robotics, supported by agrifoodTEF, can deliver real value to agri-business.

🚜 Kicking off our 2026 #successtories, this week we're travelling to French vineyards, where the collaboration between @vignevinfrance from the French Node of agrifoodTEF and EdenCore has brought AI-driven early yield estimation directly to the fields.

🍇 Thanks to Viewer, the AI-powered camera system developed by EdenCore, winegrowers can monitor yields from bloom to harvest, use precise spraying techniques and detect anomalies or diseases thanks to yield mapping.

🍷 The system has adjustable mounting options, so that it can be adapted to different crop heights and vineyard structures - an essential feature for practical, and everyday use.

🤝 This collaboration will play a decisive role in shaping the future of sustainable agriculture, taking into account the increasingly influential role of AI in viticulture.

🚜 For this week #successtory, we're flying to Belgium with the Belgian Node and Agriflight - a pioneering Belgian drone company based in Overijse.

👉 Agriflight is the first licensed provider in Belgium offering professional drone flights for agricultural field work and environmental monitoring: partnering with ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek) and the TEF team, company gained access to technical expertise, testing support, and valuable networking opportunities.

💡With drone test flights and hands-on guidance, thanks to this collaboration Agriflight had the chance to scale its business and refine its service offering: with 20 expert-led test flights conducted by ILVO, Agriflight saved valuable time and resources while improving the precision and reliability of its drone operations.

🌾 A multi-variety cereal crop field trial was sown specifically as a test and validation object for this test flight campaign: the test flight helped to optimise flight path parameters and validate image quality and location data accuracy.
