Agriculture requires innovations to increase production yields in terms of quantity and quality, but also to increase efficiency in resource management. It is necessary to reduce environmental impact and production costs, in a context of climate change and market globalization.
Precision farming is gaining a crucial role in helping farmers run their businesses in a way that is productive and sustainable. Although the Central European area is the core of EU manufacturing, precision farming has not been high in the agenda and focus of smart specialization in our regions.
The project Transfarm 4.0 aims at increasing the direct participation of farmers in the precision farming sector and boosting the competitiveness of the European precision farming advanced manufacturing supply chains.
Transfarm 4.0 will scout new demand-driven precision farming solutions to meet the needs of the farmers. Within the project, companies, clusters, research institutions and farmers will interact to bring new technological solutions to the market.

FIWARE in the vineyard
LCM has equipped a vineyard in Tata, Hungary, with a sensor and data logging system. This system is measuring more than 100 vegetation and climate-related parameters. The data resulting from the 32 sensors are acquired via the FIWARE-plattform and sent to a FIWARE data lake. Learn more

3rd interview is out
This time we talked with Patrick Crehan, Director of Crehan, Kusano & Associates (CKA). He argues for the need to strategically think about the ways to address the challenges posed by the data revolution in agriculture. You can find the entire interview on our YouTube channel!

transfarm4.0 on kronen zeitung
It feels good to be featured on one of the most popular Austrian newspapers.
Our Martin Scherhäufl (Linz Center of Mechatronics) focuses on the role of precision agriculture and its application in Europe in this article about Transfarm4.0 published by the Kronen Zeitung.

LEaflet
Transfarm 4.0 pays much attention to dissemination through different communication channels. The Twitter account and LinkedIn page are really active and help build an informed precision farming community. Now, a project leaflet has been prepared as a further channel of dissemination. It has been designed in English and then translated in the other five languages spoken within the consortium, i.e. German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Slovenian.
