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 […]
As Smart Droplets reaches its final phase, the consortium met in Athens for a full-day, hybrid Final Event hosted at the Agricultural University of Athens, a moment to both close the loop on project delivery and open the discussion on […]
As the Smart Droplets project reaches its final phase, we invite the research and agri-food innovation communities to join us in Athens on Tuesday, 10 February 2026, for the Smart Droplets Final Event. Hosted at the Agricultural University of Athens, […]
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 […]
There’s a persistent myth about agricultural robotics that needs addressing. The story goes something like this: autonomous machines will replace farmers, turning agriculture into a remote-controlled operation run from air-conditioned offices by people who’ve never set foot in a field. […]
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 […]
