As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

Robots and drones are being designed to help farmers in their day-to-day work. Robot pepper pickers work in the hot and humid environment of greenhouses where producers often struggle to find workers willing to endure the conditions. Milking robots allow cows to choose when they need to be milked, improving both animal and farmer welfare, and weeding robots save on backbreaking work and herbicides. These are just a few of many examples.
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), allow farmers to closely monitor and precisely manage crop conditions. They can help farmers discover issues such as crops not being properly irrigated, or identify an area of a field that needs intensive scouting. Drones can also be used for soil and field analysis, showing moisture content and soil erosion through accurate 3-D maps.
