New Horizons in AgTech: Scaling innovation in pastoral systems in Latin America and the Caribbean

The technological solution proposed in this project is the expansion of the digital tool "3RWeb," a web-based platform designed to optimize pasture management in pastoral systems. This tool, previously validated in the "Innovation for pasture management" project, facilitates strategic decision-making to maximize forage production and harvest in the region's pastoral systems. The core objective of the solution is to integrate new functionalities, using a user-centered development approach, that enhance the capabilities of "3RWeb" and adapt it to a broader range of agroclimatic conditions and production types. The solution is structured around three key areas: Improvements in pasture management decision-making: Modules will be incorporated to estimate the nutritional demand of lactating cows and growing cattle, thus improving the alignment between grass availability and the animals' energy needs. Additionally, this will enable the calculation of the intensity of enteric methane emissions in pastoral systems across LAC. Integration capabilities with other platforms: Through the development of APIs, "3RWeb" will integrate with existing farm management platforms, facilitating interoperability and improving access to technology for more users in the region. This will allow the solution to scale, making it accessible to a larger number of producers and technicians. Synergies with FONTAGRO projects: The tool will benefit from advancements generated in other FONTAGRO projects, incorporating technological developments and satellite monitoring data that will allow for more accurate estimation of the quantity and quality of available biomass.
