PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
The European Green Deal aims to transform the EU economy, requiring fresh policies on clean energy supply across the economy, including policies on taxation, production and consumption, large-scale infrastructure, transport, food and agriculture, construction and social benefits. The project Life-AIs allows producers to reduce significantly their use of agronomic inputs, such as pesticides, fertilisers, water, diesel and electricity, thus enabling the transition to net zero agriculture. It contributes to food security and to a prosperous and inclusive society where economic growth is decoupled from resource use , as outlined in the European Green Deal.
OBJECTIVES
The Life-Als project aims to combine the technologies of FEDE and associated beneficiary, AGERPIX, such as AI post processing, to gain an improved overview of crop characteristics. This information will be used to adjust crop management practices and the use of agricultural machinery, leading to savings of pesticides, fertilisers, water and diesel. Its approach will be demonstrated on three farms in Spain and Portugal that produce grapes, olives and avocados.
