Christy van Beek | AgroCares - The use of sensor technology in circular agriculture

Circular agriculture is expected to bring many benefits. However, it may lose traceability and control over production processes compared to (more) linear systems. For that reason, circular agriculture requires extensive ‘checks and balances’ for food safety and to determine to what extent a production system can be considered circular. Sensor technology can be used to determine flows of nutrients and organic C during the production process. In this presentation the NIR Scanner of AgroCares is presented which determines nutrients and organic C on the spot for soil and feed. Through adding databases on manure and harvested products the entire circular system can be assessed. This opens up ways to really understand the impact of circular agriculture on natural resources and production efficiency.
