SmartBerry: Sustainable and resilient berry production systems
SmartBerry strengthens the sustainability, profitability, and resilience of Swiss berry production by addressing agronomic, environmental, and societal challenges through an integrated approach. Building on Agroscope’s expertise and collaboration with stakeholders, it focuses on 8 areas: co-creation, optimized nutrient management, innovative biocontrol and disease forecasting, sustainable substrates, robotics and digital tools, variety testing under climate change, monitoring of human health-related microbial risks, and biodiversity promotion. SmartBerry will deliver practical guidelines, risk models, decision-support tools, and validated technologies, directly supporting Swiss agricultural policy, reducing pesticide and peat use, enhancing climate resilience, and improving food safety.
