Precision agriculture accelerates the move to Handsfree Agrifood
More than 1500 visitors came to VDBorne Campus to see how precision techniques deliver value today. Over two days of live demos workshops and knowledge sessions it became clear how data sensors drones and autonomous vehicles enable better decisions and less waste. The official opening with provincial deputy Marc Oudenhoven and Floris Wolf from the ministry underlined the importance of working together and sharing knowledge. This event showed how you move from watching and learning to doing and improving.
You see right away what precision delivers for you
In the field precision agriculture became tangible. Autonomous robots handled repetitive work safely and predictably. Drones and soil scanners gave instant insight into crop and soil so you can act more precisely. For farmers this offered practical ways to raise efficiency and lower costs. For technology companies there was direct feedback from real use to refine products. Researchers and policy makers saw the impact of precision techniques in realistic conditions so choices can be better supported.
Everyone is working toward results you can apply tomorrow
Farmers test what works on their own farm. Tech companies improve based on real user experience. Researchers and policy makers connect knowledge with practice so scaling up goes faster. This cross pollination brings solutions closer to daily application and helps you take concrete steps toward Handsfree Agrifood.
VDBorne Campus as an NXTGEN Hightech Agrifood test location
The Precision Days took place at VDBorne Campus where innovations are not only shown but also tested and validated in practical situations. Technology data and cultivation practice come together here so you can see what a solution does in real life.

Testing and validation lead to better and more reliable use
A precision solution only gains value when you can experience measure and adjust it. By testing in realistic conditions a solution becomes more reliable easier to use and more profitable. This is how we improve and move closer to Handsfree Agrifood with fewer risks and more certainty for your operation.
Testlocations
A national network of test locations
VDBorne Campus is one of nine Handsfree Agrifood test locations. Each location offers its own crops and conditions so you can test what is relevant for you. This helps you move faster from idea to a deployable solution that is proven to work in your practice.
