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 […]
Europe’s farms are getting smarter. From soil sensors and autonomous tractors to AI-driven advisory tools, a quiet digital revolution is unfolding across the continent’s fields. But beneath the headlines about “smart agriculture” lies a far less glamorous, yet far more […]
By Giannis Fyrogenis, Project Manager at reframe.food 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 […]
By Giannis Fyrogenis, Project Manager at reframe.food Every morning, farmers across Europe wake up knowing they face a choice that shouldn’t exist: feed the world or protect their own health. The statistics tell a story that agricultural communities have lived […]
By Giannis Fyrogenis, Project Manager at reframe.food The image of a driverless tractor, tilling a field with digital exactitude, has become a potent symbol of agriculture’s high-tech future. This vision, central to initiatives like the Smart Droplets project, which aims […]
The Smart Droplets project is transforming sustainable farming by reducing pesticide and fertiliser use while maintaining crop health through precise, data-driven treatment. Leading this initiative is the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA), which coordinates the project and has developed an […]
Technology Overview The Wageningen University (WU) is developing digital twins for crops, specifically winter wheat and apples. These digital replicas simulate real-world crop behaviour, allowing WU to assess the impact of various farm management practices. By combining digital twins with […]
As the Smart Droplets project enters its third year, substantial advancements have been made toward developing a holistic, sustainable smart-spraying solution. A critical component of this progress lies in the Direct Injection Spraying (DIS) system developed by our partner, AGROMA S.A., […]
Following the path of forging connections with key stakeholders Over the last months, the Smart Droplets team has intensified its efforts to enhance the potential of the project. Connecting with other innovative projects with similar backgrounds and characteristics provides network […]
Our technology components are ready to move us to the next phase Smart Droplets is an EU-funded project coordinated by the Agricultural University of Athens, aiming to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of crop spraying practices. To this end, it […]
