About Our Project

The Future of Precision Agriculture

Precision agriculture has become increasingly important as the world's population grows and food demand increases. Climate change, ageing populations, migration of young adults to cities, and the development of new technologies all present challenges requiring innovative solutions. SMART Farming addresses these challenges through autonomous decision-making mechanisms.

Our project develops software systems for autonomous decision support based on agronomic drone data and location-specific environmental parameters. By combining expertise from Germany, Austria, Romania, and Turkey, we create practical AI-driven tools that help farmers optimize irrigation, fertilization, and crop management while promoting sustainable practices.

Progress Presentation at AGROMALIM 2025 Conference

September 13, 2025
Arad, Romania

Dissemination activity carried out during AGROMALIM – International Fair of Agriculture, Food Industry and Packaging on 13 September 2025 in Arad, Romania. A progress project presentation was delivered to an audience of more than 40 participants. The event, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Arad County, included business meetings and company presentations and showcased agricultural technologies, machinery/equipment, crop inputs, animal husbandry systems, and agri-food/packaging solutions—supporting visibility of the project within the regional socio-economic ecosystem.

June 5, 2025
Romania

Dissemination activity carried out during the 15th Edition of the Romanian International Conference for Education & Research on 05 June 2025. A poster titled “Sustainable Agriculture and Education for Long-Term Development” was presented, highlighting links between education, skills development, and the transition toward sustainable/precision agriculture. The activity contributed to raising awareness of project-relevant themes among academic participants through poster sessions and parallel presentations.

Connecting to the Future

April 8, 2025
Arad, Romania

Two-day multiplier event held on 08–09 April 2025 in Arad, Romania, designed as a dialogue between students and representatives from the socio-economic environment. The event included a project-focused session on smart agriculture and sustainable development, highlighting how precision agriculture supports employability and more sustainable farming practices. Day 1 focused on youth entrepreneurship themes related to agribusiness and agrotourism, with an audience of 47 participants. Day 2 addressed current and future environmental protection challenges, with an audience of 39 participants, including a project-related talk on the role of precision agriculture in reducing pollution impacts on natural ecosystems. The programme also encouraged student participation through activities/contests and dissemination materials featuring the project identity.

TPM Meeting

TPM in Arad

October 28, 2024
Arad, Romania

Two-day transnational project meeting held in Arad, Romania (28–29 October 2024). Partners jointly reviewed the project’s dissemination channels and agreed updates to the project website (content completion, partner info updates, and a simplified structure), including publishing videos via YouTube through embedded links rather than interactive web features. The consortium also aligned the social media approach—using LinkedIn as the primary platform and Instagram as secondary—planning to share drone-operation photos/videos and technical drone information. In addition, partners coordinated evidence practices for dissemination activities (tracking participant numbers and photo documentation), confirmed progress-report uploads, and outlined priorities for the next six months of work and coordination.

Agromalim 2024 International Fair — SMART Farming Project Dissemination

September 8, 2024
Arad, Romania

Dissemination activity carried out during Agromalim – International Fair of Agriculture, Food Industry and Packaging in Arad, Romania (08 September 2024). A project presentation introduced the Erasmus+ SMART Farming initiative to stakeholders attending the fair (business representatives, professional associations, and visitors interested in agricultural technologies, machinery, and agri-food solutions). Attendance exceeded 40 participants, supporting visibility among the regional socio-economic ecosystem and strengthening links between academia and applied agriculture.

May 16, 2024
Adana, Türkiye

Two-day transnational project meeting held in Adana, Türkiye (16–17 May 2024) within the SMART Farming project (2023-1-DE01-KA220-HED-000166720). The meeting combined on-site visits and technical working sessions: partners visited the Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute to review applied agricultural research and drone-related practices, then aligned the project’s data-collection methodology for the upcoming wheat-field campaigns (drone-based NDVI generation using red and NIR bands, with defined stress variables and an initial sampling layout concept). The consortium also advanced dissemination preparation by agreeing a phased outreach approach (content-first), planning the project website structure, social media templates, and dissemination materials (newsletter, roll-up, flyer), and coordinating future outputs such as the project book and video content. The next interim meeting planning was also initiated.
