HUB SmartFruit-ALC FONTAGRO
This platform will promote the development and adoption of technological solutions based on precision agriculture to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of family fruit systems (FFS) in LAC. The platform develops a collaborative computer tool called “OpenFruit” as precision agriculture technology for small producers and fruit advisors in the participating countries.
This platform will promote the development and adoption of technological solutions based on precision agriculture to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of family fruit systems (FFS) in LAC. The platform develops a collaborative computer tool called “OpenFruit” as precision agriculture technology for small producers and fruit advisors in the participating countries. This tool will support agricultural management decision making to increase yield and promote efficient use of resources. Chile and Costa Rica will lead the technological development, validation, training and transfer activities. The technological tool allows the integration of geospatial, meteorological, soil and productive data to generate alerts of productive problems and support the decision-making of fruit producers, with a view to increasing levels of performance and/or efficiency in the use of resources.
