Applications

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We are developing a smart soil mapping service. Combining multi-level, multi-technology approaches, SQAT offers high-resolution soil property maps and tailored solutions for farmers. Using autonomous robot-mounted sensors and innovative in situ analysis tools, the SQAT system enhances productivity while reducing costs.

USE CASES

We work with farmers and food companies in 7 use cases to ensure that results meet their needs. Each use case has different biophysical & socio-economic conditions, which impact information needs and thus the technical configuration of the smart soil mapping system.

Prevention & remediation of soil compaction and acidity
Improve resource efficiency & limit environmental damage with precision liming
Milk supply chain sustainability programme with Regenerative Agriculture practices
Improved soil management & profitability for intensive potato farming
Improving soil management to reverse long-term trends of declining fertility
Smart soil sample collection and field analysis in Switzerland
Higher resource efficiency and yield resilience to safeguard food security
