The Andalusian Government signs the order for the Smart Green Cube building project, which will promote R&D&I in horticulture

The Andalusian Government has taken a decisive step towards the future of agriculture in the region by signing the contract for the drafting of the Smart Green Cube "Agridomo" building project to the company Tragsatec. This innovative centre is destined to become a benchmark in research, development and innovation (R&D&I) in the fruit and vegetable sector.

A reference centre for the horticulture of the future

The Smart Green Cube "Agridomo" will not only be a building, but a technological and scientific development hub for cutting-edge agriculture in Almería . This pioneering centre will focus on the digitalisation of the countryside, integrating innovative processes that will structure all aspects of R&D&I necessary to boost the agriculture of the future.

Vertical farming and sustainability

Among the many innovations that the “Agridomo” will house, its focus on vertical farming stands out. This revolutionary technique will allow for the optimisation of the use of space and resources, increasing efficiency and production. In addition, the building will be an example of energy efficiency and sustainability, establishing itself as a test laboratory for new technologies in water management, lighting, plant nutrition and more.

Dissemination and collaboration with AKIS agents

The Smart Green Cube "Agridomo" will also be a fundamental tool for the dissemination of knowledge. It will act as a bridge between all the agents of the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems ( AKIS ), such as farmers and companies in the auxiliary industry, facilitating the exchange of information and experiences. This centre will study crucial parameters for the sector, such as climate and water management for irrigation, promoting more efficient and sustainable practices.

Economic and Technological Boost

The construction of the Smart Green Cube "Agridomo" represents a strategic commitment to the future of agriculture in Almería. It is expected that this centre will not only improve cultivation and management techniques, but will also attract investment and promote economic growth in the region. Being a benchmark in technological innovation applied to agriculture, it is expected to position Almería as a leader in the fruit and vegetable sector worldwide.
