🌱 We are thrilled to share an exciting update from our ongoing collaboration within the FUTURAGRI project! 🌱 In partnership with the Universidade Lusíada - Norte, Campus Vila Nova de Famalicão and co-financed by the European Union, we have developed a series of 5 tutorial videos. Coordinated by INOVA+, these videos are designed to assist farmers and anyone interested in creating sensors, understanding the entire process, and analyzing data to address practical issues related to agricultural practices. This collaboration, particularly with the COMEGI group at Universidade Lusíada de Vila Nova de Famalicão, has been instrumental. The expertise and advanced technologies provided by the professors and researchers involved have been invaluable in producing these educational resources. 📺 The 5 tutorial videos are now available on the FUTURAGRI YouTube channel. Check them out and enhance your agricultural practices with cutting-edge knowledge and techniques! #FUTURAGRI #AgricultureInnovation #Partnership #EuropeanUnion #INOVA #UniversidadeLusiada #COMEGI #AgriculturalTechnology #Sustainability #SmartFarming
