Research and innovation in agriculture, at the service of sustainability. With a measure proposed by the Councillor for Agriculture Giulia Zanotelli, the Provincial Council today approved the project 'IRRITRE: territorial information system for precision irrigation in Trentino'. The project involves the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK), the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) and Trentino Digitale S.p.A.. It aims, starting from three sample areas identified in the provincial territory, to develop a territorial information system designed to promote and foster efficient irrigation management through precision irrigation practices. It is based on a set of Agriculture 4.0 technologies that are combined through the use of artificial intelligence in order to provide monitoring and control functions, promoting the development of predictive models and planning tools on a provincial scale for optimising the use of the irrigation resource and its impact on crops. It is expected to be completed by 31/12/2025.
