Six Entities Develop an AI Project for the Automatic Management of Green Areas
Aiming to optimize the management and maintenance of Spain’s green areas in the face of climate change-related challenges such as droughts and the increase of pests and diseases, a new project leveraging artificial intelligence has been initiated.
February 21, 2024
This initiative utilizes advanced sensing technologies, communication, IoT, and artificial intelligence to monitor and control agricultural zones and urban spaces like parks and gardens in real time. A study underpinning the AI system for green zones has shown that intelligent models can reduce water consumption by up to 50% in mango and avocado production without impacting yield.
The project serves agricultural sector companies facing challenges related to water scarcity and the need to optimize resource use, a pressing issue in contemporary agriculture. It is a collaborative effort among Innova IRV, Tupl, CORDIS, the University of Málaga (MAPIR group), and AMETIC, with the support of Malaga TechPark | Parque Tecnológico de Andalucía, and coordinated by the Smart City Cluster. Funding is provided by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism under the AEI support program, with collaboration from the European Union through Next Generation EU funds, as part of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
