Summary in the original language of the document
This abstract explores the potential of a robust decision support platform to empower farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices and preserving soil health. The platform integrates real time data from various soil sensors, including humidity, temperature, weather conditions, and more, to aid farmers in making informed decisions (Gómez et al., 2019; Vallad et al., 2021). By addressing the challenges of modern agriculture through data driven insights, the platform envisages improved crop resilience, resource efficiency, and environmental conservation. This innovation holds the promise of benefiting farmers, ecosystems, and the broader agricultural community.

Teaser: | A transformative tool in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture and soil protection. |
What problem does the tool address?: | Contemporary agriculture faces multifaceted challenges, including climate variability, resource scarcity, and soil degradation. Farmers often lack access to real time data and decision support systems, hindering their ability to adapt to changing conditions and make informed choices. This knowledge gap can result in decreased productivity, resource inefficiency, and soil health deterioration. |
What solution does the tool offer?: | The proposed decision support platform offers a comprehensive solution by leveraging real time data from soil sensors and meteorological sources (Demeter Project, 2020; Vallad et al., 2021). It empowers farmers to make data driven decisions related to planting, irrigation, and resource management, fostering resilience and soil protection. By integrating tools and methodologies for sustainable agriculture and microbiome preservation, the pla tform aims to address the challenges posed by modern farming. |
