A project titled 'Increasing the resilience of the food supply chain to the complex challenges of the modern world' has been initiated in Romania to develop an agrisolar system with batteries for agricultural irrigation. Led by INCDTIM and in collaboration with Agro-Food-IND Napoca Cluster and Agramia, the RON 52.5 million project is funded by a RON 47.7 million grant from the European Regional Development Fund.

Running until November 2, 2028, the project aims to create integrated solutions to improve agricultural resilience. The system will utilize photovoltaic panels and energy storage, tested on various crops, to monitor key indicators like water consumption and crop development. A software application for optimizing energy consumption on farms will also be developed.
