Project Overview

Our digital farming platform Field Viewª enables seamless linking and unlimited storage of machine-generated agronomic data on farmersÕ accounts. The application of this data not only helps farmers, but also creates substantial advantages for the environment. Precision agricultural machinery and digital tools enable farmers to use inputs such as seeds, water, fertilizer and crop protection products only when and where they are necessary. Field Viewª is currently available in…

Our digital farming platform Field Viewª enables seamless linking and unlimited storage of machine-generated agronomic data on farmersÕ accounts. The application of this data not only helps farmers, but also creates substantial advantages for the environment. Precision agricultural machinery and digital tools enable farmers to use inputs such as seeds, water, fertilizer and crop protection products only when and where they are necessary. Field Viewª is currently available in North America, South America and Europe. To meet increasing demands for environmental protection and occupational health and safety more effectively, Crop Science has developed the easy flow system together with agrotype GmbH. This closed, contamination-preventing discharge system for liquid crop protection products enables full or partial discharge and is fully self-cleaning. The system is already being used in practice for small-scale spraying of fruit and vegetables. A new variant for use in field crops was introduced to the market with BayerÕs support. For water protection in agricultural areas, Crop Science recommends the use of biological remediation systems such as Phytobacª. This system is designed to prevent water contamination with residues of crop protection chemicals generated during the filling and cleaning of spraying devices or the disposal of residual liquids. The system is used in many E.U. countries and offered commercially by various suppliers. More than 4,600 remediation systems are currently in operation in Europe. Projects to introduce the system have also been implemented in Australia, Canada, China, Thailand and Latin America (Argentina, Brazil and Colombia). Together with external partners we are developing a digital geoinformation system for agriculture in order to protect neighboring water bodies from contamination with crop protection products. Site-related risks are visualized by means of high-resolution maps supplemented with risk mitigation proposals.

Project Narrative

With close to 1.2 million m3 of water restored to the Nile watershed annually, these two projects have enabled all sites in Egypt to return more water to the watershed than the total beverage volume produced.
