A new Hackaleak on our project! We’re unveiling more details about the Challenge organised by MATE, the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE): Innovating Precision Viticulture. This challenge will invite participants to harness cutting-edge technology and precision agriculture to transform vineyard management.
MATE is inviting current and former students, grapevine growers, and agricultural enthusiasts to optimize vineyard productivity and quality using technology. The challenge focuses on designing a 1-year technology roadmap for managing winegrape vineyards with innovative precision farming methods.
Participants will leverage the power of advanced tools like remote sensing, robotics, vegetation indices, weather forecasting, and sensor networks to address core aspects of vineyard management. From precision pruning to targeted nutrient supply, pest control, and efficient harvesting, the challenge aims to showcase how technology can revolutionize every stage of the vineyard lifecycle.
Grapevine cultivation requires attention to balance productivity with sustainability, taking into account both the weather and the soil nutrients. By integrating modern technology, participants have the opportunity to redefine traditional practices, making them more efficient and data-driven. The aim is to improve yields and grape quality and ensure consistent quality year after year. It also as supporting the broader goal of sustainable farming by reducing waste, optimising resource use, and better respond to changing conditions.
The Hackathon will take place on February 6th and 7th. Top hackers will win an exclusive remote internship (from 3 to 6 months) with leading organisations in the field of precision agriculture. An incredible hands-on experience in working in a changing field where technology and data-driven decision are becoming more important than ever.
