Topic 2 - Data-based solutions for sustainable agriculture
As Kayseri Şeker Fabrikası, we are seeking collaboration for a project within the AgData Partnership supported by the Horizon Europe program, focused on early detection and prediction of sugar beet diseases.
Our project directly aligns with AgData’s Topic 2: Enhancing climate change adaptation capacity and supporting sustainable agriculture through data-driven solutions. Kayseri Şeker will contribute through our large-scale trial fields and sugar beet cultivation infrastructure.
However, we are looking for project partners who can provide sensors, data collection, and analysis technologies. Therefore, we aim to collaborate with technology providers, academic institutions, and research centers.
Through this collaboration, our objectives are to:
Monitor plant health under real field conditions,
Provide reliable agricultural data for disease risk models and early warning systems,
Increase crop productivity while strengthening climate change adaptation capacity.
If you are interested, please contact us.
