FERIDE

The increasing food demand and decreasing water resources have created an urge to find new technologies for efficient use of water and fertiliser for agriculture. FERIDE aims to provide a technologically controlled farming environment to improve the availability and absorption of water and nutrients in the soil, resulting in a substantial increase in crop production and quality while decreasing farming costs. They will develop a European-scale network of actors to better manage logistics and implement an information system platform, allowing communication between different system actors such as farmers, fertilizer suppliers and irrigation providers.
