FIGARO International Conference at Copa-Cogeca
The project's closing conference was hosted by Copa-Cogeca in Brussels and ran from 9:00 to 16:30. It presented the results of four years of work to potential users of precision irrigation and to the people who promote it.
Programme themes
- Current challenges in water management for agriculture: matching science and practice at farm level
- Core results: the consortium, each partner's role and the integrated platform
- Practical applications: field tests, water assessment, nitrogen and energy savings. These covered several crops and models (AquaCrop, Daisy, citrus models), weather forecasts, satellite images and pump data.
- Water savings potential of the platform
- Economic and societal impact of precision irrigation, including the results of expert and stakeholder questionnaires
- Optimising irrigation with simulation models
- Technological achievements
