This partnership and sponsorship chair will be holding its annual symposium on March 12 in Rouen, on the UniLaSalle premises. Terres Inovia is one of its founding members. Focus on this catalyst for digital solutions in agriculture.
Remote sensing, connected objects, data processing... the benefits of digital technology for farm management are well established. The creation of the H@rvest Alliance is a step in this direction. Launched in 2021, this consortium aims to foster the emergence of innovative digital solutions in the agricultural sector.
Funded by Sofiprotéol and Exact Robotics, it brings together seven partners: AgroParisTech and its foundation, Telecom Paris, AgreenTech Valley, Lasalle Rouen, Sofiproteol, and Terres Inovia, as well as Exact Robotics, patron of the chair.
Guidelines defined by a scientific committee
With the aim of producing operational knowledge in digital agriculture and providing farmers with concrete answers, the Chair " formulates applied research questions, conducts studies and experiments, and evaluates the real interest of digital tools ", explains Jean-Eudes Hollebecq, new technologies engineer at Terres Inovia, who is involved in the work of the H@rvest Alliance.
In concrete terms, the orientations are defined by a scientific committee, in which Terres Inovia participates, structured around three business lines:
- Irrigation
- Pests and diseases
- Soil biodiversity
Two transversal axes complete the Chair's orientations:
- Data & Artificial Intelligence
- Training & Education
Le rôle de Terres Inovia : une expertise technique précieuse
Within the H@rvest Alliance, the technical institute "contributes to the orientation of research questions, in particular by evaluating the relevance of DAOs, their effectiveness and their conditions of use tested under agronomic conditions", answers Jean-Eudes Hollebecq. It should be noted that the technical institute is particularly involved in work on soybean irrigation control, as well as on digital models in relation to climate change. Terres Inovia is also involved in the AgriPINN project, which aims to measure the reliability and robustness of a crop model dedicated to sunflower when tested under extreme conditions, in order to predict its sensitivity to climate change.
H@rvest Alliance on the lookout for new sponsors
For its next five-year research cycle, the partnership chair is looking for sponsors from 2027 onwards. Are you a private company interested in the expertise of the H@rvest Alliance and in advancing digital agriculture? Contact contact@alliance-harvest.com
