Develop a set of tools that allow farmers, taking into account the yield, terrain, moisture content of the cultivated fields, to choose the optimal mix of herbaceous crops grown, and to enable the monitoring of plant growing processes with the support of digital technologies, ensuring a timely harvest, thereby achieving a maximum amount of valuable nutrients in feed, improving the quality of milk produced, reducing the cost of production and reducing the negative impact of the activities carried out on the environment.

The project aims to create a set of measures enabling farmers, taking into account the yield, terrain, moisture content of the cultivated fields, to select optimal herb crop mixes and to monitor plant vegetation, ensuring a timely harvest, thereby ensuring a maximum amount of valuable nutrients in feed. The project will develop recommendations to optimise the production of herbaceous forage.

The recommendations developed in the scope of the project and innovative satellite monitoring tools adapted to the observation of herbaceous plants will contribute to the growth of pastureland, while the production of quality herbaceous forage blends, which produce quality milk, will encourage farmers to farming more sustainably, reduce the cost of feed for dairy farms and contribute to reducing GHG emissions.

The use of satellite technology will allow farms to reduce production costs (time, fuel) and to ensure an optimal process for the preparation of herbaceous forage, to identify problematic grassland areas and to choose the optimal stage of cutting of herbaceous plants, ensuring the maximum quality of herbaceous forage.
