In the language of irrigated agriculture, the word ‘water’ means ‘problem’, and that problem is often a crucial one. This argument may sound pathetic but it is not at all exaggerated, particularly given the range of challenges, both economic and environmental, faced by the farmers engaged in this domain. So the need for universally applicable measures addressing the water misuse problem in agriculture is here and, obviously, the world has already realized it: various attempts are made to find a solution in different parts of the globe, including in Europe. The fact is, however, that the problem persists, and this is largely due to the lack of a verified scientific approach to ensure its effective yet inexpensive solution. Thus far. With this Project Proposal the applicant Archimedes UDSS LLC presents the scientific basis, already tested and proven on-field, together with the business concept for transforming it into a user-friendly decision support system (DSS) for irrigated crops growers. Practically, our prospective product is designed to answer all the key questions left open by the present alternatives, through: - A universal approach to the problem applicable to any crop, anywhere on Earth; - A solution underlying a complex of verified biophysical equations in line with the laws of nature, eliminating the need for additional measuring equipment on-field; - A DSS allowing precise scheduling the yield amounts by crops yet at the start of the growing season; - And last but not least, a green technology sparing both the freshwater as a resource and the nature as a whole. All this potential turns the future Archimedes product into an innovation able to disrupt the agro-consulting solutions market and change the very way irrigated farming is done. So we are up to shape the brighter future of agriculture – and will be happy to have the EU by our side in the struggle with the harmful environmental effects of farming on a global scale. ver más
