The SMART: Sustainable Management of Agriculture with the Intelligent Computing Continuum project is an international initiative focused on enhancing agricultural efficiency and sustainability through IoT, edge computing, and artificial intelligence. By integrating advanced sensing technologies with intelligent decision-making models, the project aims to optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, reducing resource waste and environmental impact.
SMART is a collaborative effort between Brazil and China, bringing together universities, research institutions, and industry partners. This partnership combines expertise in IoT, AI, remote sensing, and precision agriculture to develop innovative solutions that address global agricultural challenges.
To validate its technologies, the project will implement real-world pilot programs:
In Brazil, a coffee farm in São Paulo will test smart irrigation and soil monitoring solutions.
In China, a large cotton farm in Xinjiang will focus on AI-driven irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.
By leveraging cutting-edge computing and agricultural expertise, SMART aims to drive sustainable innovation in farming, ensuring greater efficiency, resilience, and environmental protection for global food production.
