Agrobox: Reducing tractor washwater and irrigation water use

The Agrobox project, funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, develops sustainable farming practices using precision agriculture technologies like soil sensors and automated irrigation. Piloted in five regions across Italy and Spain, it achieved a 25% reduction in water use and a 20% increase in yield efficiency. Environmental assessments show a 30% decrease in nitrogen runoff. The project supports smallholder farmers and regional agencies, enhancing climate resilience and economic stability. Expansion to Portugal and Greece is planned, with training for local cooperatives. Long-term monitoring and data-driven refinements ensure continuous improvement.
