PA4ALL - Precision Agriculture Living Lab

PA4ALL is an abbreviation for Precision Agriculture for All, which is the main scope of our Living Lab, to introduce all the actors in the agriculture production chain to precision agriculture tools. The host organization of PA4ALL is BioSense Institute, Institute for research and development of information technology in biosystems. Research and innovation at BioSense Institute is developed in a close interaction with farmers and the agrifood sector, government bodies, entrepreneurs and business community, international researchers, and citizens.

Aim

We work together to create a new generation of open innovations which will be readily used, and which will bring benefits across the entire value-chain. As a meeting place for all relevant stakeholders, we have established PA4ALL – the Living lab for precision agriculture.
