Identification & Background 

Project title: SmartProduce – Smart System for Producers

Operation code: COMPETE2030-FEDER-01204700, LISBOA2030-FEDER-01204700

Main objective: The SmartProduce project arises from the need for an intelligent system to support agricultural decision and management. This system should be simple, efficient, integrated and functional. The solutions currently available on the market do not offer many of the necessary requirements, namely:
Automated collection of agroclimatic data in the field.
Automated collection of general climate data.
Identification of trends.
Production forecast.
Sending automatic alerts.
