SmartFruit-ALC FONTAGRO HUB
This platform will promote the development and adoption of technological solutions based on precision agriculture to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of family fruit systems (FFS) in LAC. The platform develops a collaborative IT tool called “OpenFruit” as a precision agriculture technology for small producers and fruit advisors in participating countries.
This platform will promote the development and adoption of technological solutions based on precision agriculture to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of family fruit systems (FFS) in LAC. The platform develops a collaborative IT tool called “OpenFruit” as a precision agriculture technology for small producers and fruit advisors in participating countries. This tool will support decision-making in agricultural management to increase yield and promote the efficient use of resources. Chile and Costa Rica will lead the technological development, validation, training and transfer activities. The technological tool allows the integration of geospatial, meteorological, soil and production data to generate alerts on production problems and support the decision-making of fruit producers, with a view to increasing yield levels and/or efficiency in the use of resources.
