GO INGNUTS: Sustainable almond cultivation through the use of precision agriculture, improving soil health and biodiversity in Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and Extremadura.
- Type Grupo operativo
- Status In progress
- Execution 2024 -2027
- Scope Supraautonómico
- Autonomous community Andalucía; Castilla - La Mancha; Extremadura
- Main source of financing PEPAC 2023-2027
The project aims to significantly increase the economic performance of almond farms through digitalisation and the introduction of new production technologies in a sustainable way, reducing their carbon, nitrogen and water footprints, while improving soil health and biodiversity.
Technology will allow for better design of the hydraulic and energy infrastructures of the plot by being able to transfer to the farmer the way of using and implementing this technology so that he can properly use the possibilities of monitoring the plots based on irrigation and fertilization and make the correct exploitation decisions with them.
In order to properly take advantage of the benefits of a good coexistence with the environment, there is a transfer of technologies related to plant covers, soil health and the promotion of biodiversity, and the economic, social, environmental and technological impact produced by our activity as farmers.

Significantly increase the economic performance of almond farms, through digitalization and the introduction of new production technologies, in a sustainable way, and reducing their carbon, nitrogen and water footprint, while improving soil health and biodiversity.
Other objectives of the project:
- Promote the use of the benefits of precision agriculture, and the appropriate use of its instrumentation, including optical, thermal, and terrestrial sensing techniques, and their appropriate treatment through AI.
- To transfer to producers new cultivation techniques related to fertilization, irrigation and the application of plant covers, as well as soil health care, increased pollination and biodiversity.
- Promote sustainable cultivation with a low carbon, water and nitrogen footprint, improving the social, economic and environmental environment.
- Consolidation of an Almond Innovation Community in Spain, which will be a benchmark and unifier of innovation and technological transfer, and which will address social, environmental, and economic needs.
- This technology will allow for better design of the hydraulic and energy infrastructures of the plot (R1). In addition, it will be possible to transfer to the farmer the way of using and implementing this technology (R2). To properly use the possibilities of monitoring the plots based on irrigation (R3) and fertilization (R4) and make with them the correct exploitation decisions.
- In order to properly take advantage of the benefits of good coexistence with the environment, there is a transfer of technologies related to plant covers, soil health and the promotion of biodiversity (R5), and the economic, social, environmental and technology impact produced by our activity as farmers (R6).
- Furthermore, any project makes sense if it produces a clear impact on the lives of people living in rural areas and working in agriculture. Therefore, the dissemination of these results is essential, as well as reaching the entire Almond sector widely, and not only this, but also all citizens living in this environment (R7, Dissemination).
