The Challenge
Vineyards in the EU are largely managed by small-scale farmers, with over 80% of holdings smaller than 1 hectare. Small owners face high advisory costs, limited digital literacy, general lack of trust in precision agriculture technologies, and persistent labour shortages.
The Solution
Building on the proven Winessense ADS, Fellow@Field integrates OpenWeatherMap data and Farmtopia's Digital Field Book to create an affordable hybrid advisory platform for small vineyard owners under 10 ha.
Key Features
- Chemical treatment calculators for sustainable pest management
- Photo diaries for visual monitoring of vineyard health over time
- Modular API architecture ensuring the platform is affordable, practical, and scalable
Measurable Results
- Over 15% reduction in chemical treatments
- Over 20% fewer vineyard visits required by external consultants
