Agro & Food sector

The agri-food sector is under pressure from sustainability requirements, labor shortages and the need to produce more efficiently. How can you operate autonomously and still meet increasing demand?

The solution

Our Agro & Food innovation brokers provide support with:

  • Applying technology such as precision agriculture, drones and smart sensors.
  • Forming partnerships for shared innovation challenges.
  • Testing new technologies without large investments.

Cluster autonomous green management

Part of Agro & Food is the Autonomous Green Management Cluster:

The Netherlands manages more than 2 million hectares of roadsides, dikes and waterways every year. That system is under pressure. Personnel are scarce, professional knowledge is disappearing and biodiversity goals require precision rather than a large-scale standard approach.

Autonomous systems enable a different way of working. By first accurately measuring what is growing and living, and only intervening where necessary, management becomes more selective, scalable and ecologically sound. Biodiversity thus becomes not a policy goal on paper, but a control variable in implementation.
