Digibiocontrol
An alliance between Digital and Biocontrol : A New Challenge for a More Sustainable Agriculture
Objective
To strengthen Wallonia’s biocontrol ecosystem by interconnecting the digital world (applications, sensors, robots, etc.) and the world of biological control of plant predators through three pillars: innovation/R&D, training and entrepreneurship.
The main areas of work
- The development of innovative biocontrol solutions or, more broadly, solutions designed to reduce the use of harmful chemical inputs in agricultural production
- The development of digital and robotic solutions (products and/or services) enabling these solutions to be effectively integrated into farming practices
- The development of new technologies for observing the components of the agro-system (soil, environment, exchanges with the plant) and modelling their interactions.
- Development, validation and demonstration of new farming practices that incorporate these innovations.
- Raise awareness and train of farm stakeholders in these new practices.
