Project Summary:

AGRARSENSE is a large 3-year KDT Joint Undertaking consortium project aiming to develop microelectronics, photonics, electronic packaging for agricultural use and forestry. The project will also develop related ICT and data management to realise large scale field demonstrators for real industrial needs.

Food security has become an increasing concern due to a mixed bag of factors that include climate change, fragile supply chains and agricultural activity. In fact, the increase in agricultural production to nourish a growing global population has highlighted the need for innovative solutions. The EU-funded AGRARSENSE project will combine the efforts of large enterprises, SMEs and research and technology organisations (total consortium of 57 partners, including 4 affiliates). To do this, they will develop several technologies like automated agricultural tools and improved sensor technology that will help improve efficiency and protect value chains.

Aquamonitrix’s contribution:

Aquamonitrix will be involved in the deployment of in-situ and real-time nutrient analysers in aquaculture and aquaponic facilities as part of Use Case 7 (UC7). With the collaboration of partners within the project, Aquamonitrix will integrate pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate and ammonium sensors to the Aquamonitrix in-situ and real-time nutrient analyser.
