An Open Source Platform

Agrosat

AgroSat combines digital technologies (IoT and Big Data) and scientific research products to create a direct connection between research, companies and farmer entrepreneurs.
New technologies are changing the way we take care of agriculture, but costs, lack of training and standard protocols are an obstacle especially for small farms. We believe that an open and free platform for quick and precise access to data and information may help farmer transform them, with their experience, into knowledge.

The Context

In Italy, the application of precision farming is very heterogeneous and it covers only 1% of the whole agricultural area. Meanwhile the agricultural system is required to maximise the production when at the same time, with challenging climatic conditions, it needs to maintain high quality of standards and to abide more-strict environmental regulations.

Unlike other European countries, in Italy there is a need to support the agri-food chain users with up-to-date information and research products. 

This is where AgroSat platform comes in, providing satellite data, testing new analysis approaches for multi-source data integration, supporting the participatory approach to agro-environmental monitoring. It is primarily used to monitor field data through Earth Observation satellites, programming distribution of chemicals and knowing the location and cause of crop-stress to optimize quantities applied. It is a great platform that saves farmers both time and money.

Powerful Dashboard

Users can manage multiple farming units, view 5 days weather forecast and local weather observation for their units. They can also report on their agronomic techniques, accessing a block chain geo-traceability service for supply chain. Being updated with new research products, AgroSat is a full free open source platform.
