Abuse of fertillizers Global anthopogenic greenhouse emission weighted by its 100-year global warming potential IPCC Global N 2 O emissions and human impact: 4,1 BLN Tons per year 66% come from agriculture Irrigation Water use The Challenge

Problem Statement: “We need a way to gather accurate data about N 2 O emissions from agricultural activity to help policy makers decide on the right policies to reduce such emission.” Mission Statement: Provide user friendly solutions to farmers and food enterprises to improve productivity of farming activities while reducing costs and environmental impact. European Nitrogen Assessment (ENA), 2011.

Aggregated dataset (continuously updated) Meteorological data (WMO, …) Crop, soil data (satellites, FAO, …) …. Location Type of Soil Type of crop Weather … Optimize the agricultural practices, (i.e. fertilizer use) to improve yield, reduce costs and reduce emissions Application/Software Fertilizer type and amount Right practices Techniques (N inhibitors, …) Software license Small farm Mid-size farm Enterprise edition Estimates, agricultural data Value added data Other revenue streams Product advertisements or suggestions Input for certification or labeling companies (environmental friendly products) Input for (future) supermarkets for tracking product source Actual values The proposed solution Data log for farming activities Simulation platform Advice and suggestions

Technology

Case study Overuse of fertilizers: The Nitrification cycle Introducing: Biological Nitrification Inhibition Contribution of 60-90% of the inhibitory activity released from the roots of this tropical grass Everything you can imagine, nature has already created it. - Albert Einstein

4,5 mln ha Rice: 4,8% Wine: 5,1% Corn: 26% Highest emission factor N2O Grassland: 51,1% 98% private familiar companies Owning 80% of land Market focus
