In recent years there has been increasing consumer interest in sustainable forms of agriculture: organic, biodynamic, etc. Agricultural enterprises have seized on this trend through a reduction in the use of pesticide treatments and chemical fertilizers, leading to lower operating costs and greater appeal of Italian produce in domestic and foreign markets.
Through the use of IoT devices, Almaviva AgriFood platform enables real-time monitoring of specific crop and soil parameters: temperature, solar radiation, wind, moisture, and water quantity and purity. Based on the collected data, sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms calculate crop requirements and indicate the quantities necessary for the plants, thus ensuring maximum production efficiency and sustainability of the production process over time.
