• Variable Rate Technology (VRT): Apply inputs at a precise location
‒ Efficiency raises by 10-15%, reducing the application without impact on crop yield.
‒ Site-specific management of nitrogen fertilizer ranges between 10€/ha and 25€/ha.
• Precision Livestock farming (PLF): Automatic monitoring
‒ Higher yield and longer life can reduce agricultural methane emissions by 30%.
• Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF): Lower energy for cultivation.
‒ On average, a 50% saving in fuel per tone of crop harvested is likely.
• Precision Irrigation: save water, improving yields and fruit quality
‒ Deficit irrigation strategies enable 25% water savings (savings greater than 45€/ha).
