- Abstract
- The challenge of creating energy efficient and low-polluting agricultural processes will be further complicated by the consequences of climate change. How strongly these changes will affect the plant-producing qualities of soil depends on parameters such as soil type, relative density, water to name only a few. These parameters are measured using sensor systems, which could be integrated into dynamic agricultural control systems. Dynamic developments in sensors, control technology and telecommunications enable future technological advances in the area of precision farming.
In its first phase, this project conducts a preliminary analysis of climate change in Austria and its effects on agriculture. This analysis provides the basis for collecting information on locally adapted crop production systems at the regional level, as well as innovative agricultural technologies in general.
