AGROSTRATEG – basic information

The AGROSTRATEG programme focuses on four priority areas of research and innovation in agriculture—see what research topics each of them covers.

Four priority areas of research and innovation

See what research topics are covered by each area (T1–T4).

Sustainable crop production and improved soil fertility (T1)

  • Improving soil quality (soil deacidification/liming, increasing organic matter/humus content, macronutrients and micronutrients) and sustainable soil management
  • Improving crop quality (including for organic farming)
  • Actions aimed at significantly reducing the use of synthetic fertilizers and plant protection products
  • Development of new, more effective controlled-release fertilizer formulations
  • Optimisation of high-protein crop production
  • Valorisation of bio-waste through its utilisation
  • Increasing crops’ yield potential
  • Rational use of natural resources
  • Improving the safety of plant-based raw materials
  • Development and advancement of breeding and production techniques that take into account the microbiological biodiversity of soils and plants

Sustainable animal production (T2)

  • Implementation of modern methods of integrated livestock health management
  • Optimisation of environmental and nutritional conditions
  • Development of technologies and procedures to reduce losses and waste of animal-derived raw materials at every stage of the production chain
  • Improving the microbiological and physicochemical safety of feed and animal-derived raw materials
  • Proposing solutions and actions to support animal welfare and the bioethics of animal production
  • Improving the microbiological and physicochemical safety of animal-derived organic fertilisers

Digital agriculture (T3)

  • Real-time farm management software
  • Precision planting, sowing and irrigation
  • Remote sensing and geolocation
  • Smart application of fertilizers and plant protection products
  • Precision animal production
  • Autonomous field robots and Agriculture 4.0
  • Advanced irrigation methods
  • Chemical product management and emissions reduction
  • Soil and water monitoring
  • Integrated Big Data and AI platforms
  • Data systems and interoperability
  • Traceability and the value chain

Innovative agricultural techniques (T4)

  • Development of soilless crop cultivation systems
  • Development of plant cultivation technologies for controlled-environment agriculture
  • Optimisation of drainage and irrigation systems
  • Use of renewable energy in agriculture through RES installations (agrivoltaics, biogas plants and wind turbines in agricultural systems)

AGROSTRATEG – who is it for?

The AGROSTRATEG programme is aimed at research organisations and universities, entrepreneurs from the agri-food sector, and science–industry consortia that combine academic and business expertise in joint R&D projects. At the same time, the programme enables the active involvement of farmers and industry organisations as end users and direct beneficiaries of research outcomes, so that the developed solutions address real market needs and are ready for implementation.

AGROSTRATEG – what level of support and funding is available?

Financial support under the programme will be granted from NCBR targeted subsidies, and the funding intensity will vary depending on the applicant category and the type of R&D activities carried out (e.g. industrial research or experimental development).

How can we help you with the Agrostrateg project?

At Agri Solutions (FarmPortal & FarmCloud), we can support the AGROSTRATEG project in four areas:

1. Preparing the research agenda and submitting the project

We help define the research agenda, the scope of R&D work, task packages, milestones, project indicators and Technology Readiness Levels (TRL), as well as develop an implementation and commercialisation plan aligned with NCBR requirements and the realities of the agri-food sector.

2. Developing R&D topics in Agriculture 4.0 and digital technologies

We bring R&D competencies in AI/ML, computer vision and image processing, remote sensing, geolocation (GNSS/RTK), Big Data analytics, predictive and scoring models, digital twins (Digital Twin), decision support systems, data interoperability, and IoT integration (LoRaWAN, MQTT, edge computing, ISOBUS/ISO-XML, CAN-BUS).

3. Subcontracting (R&D and implementations)

We can act as a subcontractor delivering specific R&D and implementation tasks—we have extensive experience in agricultural R&D projects and in building and testing solutions ready for pilot deployments and scaling.

4. Consortium member

We can participate in a consortium as a technology partner, responsible for data architecture, system integration, AI components, the digital part of the project, and preparing a technology demonstrator and commercialisation pathway based on FarmPortal and FarmCloud.

Our experience in R&D projects for agriculture

We have documented experience in delivering research and development (R&D) projects for the agri-food sector, co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and regional and European funds. Our work focuses on the digitisation of agriculture, Agriculture 4.0 and 5.0, data analytics, AI, remote sensing, system interoperability, and the integration of IoT and agricultural machinery. The projects covered both industrial research and development work, concluding with pilots and deployments for farms, processors and value-chain partners, with a strong emphasis on commercialisation, scalability and real-world application of technology in agricultural practice.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

1. What is the AGROSTRATEG program and what is its goal?

AGROSTRATEG is a strategic R&D program of the National Centre for Research and Development focused on innovations in the agri-food sector, including precision agriculture, fertilizer reduction, soil monitoring, production digitalization, and strengthening the farm-to-fork value chain.

2. What thematic areas does AGROSTRATEG cover?

The program covers four areas: sustainable plant production, animal production, digital agriculture (Agriculture 4.0), and innovative agricultural techniques, including remote sensing, geolocation, AI, Big Data, and resource management.

3. Who is the AGROSTRATEG program intended for?

The program is intended for research organizations, universities, agri-food companies, and scientific-industrial consortia, with the possibility of involving farmers and industry organizations as end users.

4. What is the level of funding and support?

Funding comes from targeted grants from the National Centre for Research and Development, and the level of support depends on the type of applicant and the type of work. Details are specified in the call documentation.

5. Which projects have the highest chances of success?

Projects with high implementation potential (TRL 6–9) are rated highest, including AI, soil and water monitoring, data interoperability, traceability, and digital production management.

6. Does Agri Solutions help in preparing projects?
