By reframe.food A sprayer passes over a crop in seconds. In that short window, millions of droplets leave the nozzles and go somewhere. Most of what people argue about when they argue about precision spraying is really an argument about […]
On 26 February 2026, the Horizon Europe project Smart Droplets marked a major milestone by opening its orchard pilot site in Catalonia to farmers, machinery operators, and agri-food stakeholders, demonstrating how a standard tractor can be transformed into a fully […]
The Smart Droplets EU project has reached its final phase, marking a key milestone with a full-day Final Event in Athens, hosted at the Agricultural University of Athens. The event brought together research organisations, agritech innovators, industry leaders, and sector […]
European agriculture stands at a crossroads. Farmers are being asked to produce more while using less, to feed growing populations while protecting the environment, and to remain profitable while adapting to increasingly strict regulations. At the heart of this challenge […]
Walk through an apple orchard or wheat field with an experienced farmer and they’ll point out details invisible to untrained eyes. A slight discoloration on leaves. The pattern of pest damage. Areas where growth looks off. This observational skill, built […]
A soil moisture sensor registers a reading. A camera captures an image of leaves. A weather station records temperature and humidity. In isolation, these are just numbers. But within a precision agriculture system, each measurement begins a journey that ultimately […]
The Smart Droplets project, in collaboration with Eurecat – Technology Centre, showcased cutting-edge precision agriculture technologies to local farmers during a dedicated Open Day held in Girona, Spain. Hosted at Serrater S.L. in L’Armentera, the event brought together 34 farmers […]
For many farmers, the tractor is more than a machine. It is the heartbeat of the farm, a trusted partner that has shaped generations of work. But as agriculture faces new environmental and economic challenges, even this familiar companion is […]
Across Europe, farmers are facing a changing landscape. Environmental pressures, new regulations, and rising production costs are challenging traditional ways of working. At the same time, technological advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and data science are opening doors to a […]
Modern agriculture has to walk a fine line: producing enough food for a growing population while protecting the environment. Traditional spraying systems mix pesticides and fertilizers in a single tank and apply them evenly across the field. This approach is […]
