Imagine concrete solutions for tomorrow's agriculture
AGREEN DÉFI is a hackathon organized with the aim of providing concrete answers to the problems facing the world of agriculture. For 48 hours, multi-disciplinary teams - including farmers, industry professionals, experts and students - work together around a central theme to design prototypes, proofs of concept (POC) and implementation strategies. The aim is to develop solutions that are directly adapted to needs in the field.
A few projects from the previous edition
GAÏAGO — Automated Reading of Soil Analyses
The challenge: Soil test results come in a wide variety of formats (different layouts, formats, and units), which makes analyzing them time-consuming and difficult to standardize for the purpose of advising farmers.
The solution: An app that takes a photo of the soil analysis and uses AI to read it, automatically extracting the data, standardizing it, and correlating the various elements. The result: a real boost in efficiency and concrete recommendations for improving soil quality.
CTIFL — Yield Forecast for Greenhouse Tomatoes
The problem: How can we forecast the volume of tomatoes harvested in greenhouses in 2 and 4 weeks, based on climate data and crop management practices?
The solution: A dual, complementary approach—a physiological model (TOMSIM) based on the plant’s biological mechanisms, coupled with a machine learning model that incorporates the delayed effect of climate (6 to 8 weeks). All of this is integrated into an interactive interface that allows users to simulate different climate scenarios, adjust parameters, and save results for comparison.
CPVO — Dynamic Analysis of Applications for Plant Variety Protection
The challenge: How can we track and analyze the numerous applications for plant variety protection in the EU to identify trends and shifts in seed companies’ strategies?
The solution: An interactive dashboard (Streamlit) that combines and processes data from Variety Finder, automatically generates key charts (time series, breakdowns by species, sector, and company), and prototypes an agent capable of producing this summary automatically.
