Build your team. Enter the digital agriculture
competition of the year, and compete for valuable
prizes
The competition takes four weeks. Every week you resolve simulated agriculture problems of real farms in a virtual environment. Your solutions shall be uploaded in the market leader agriculture farm management software, AgroVIR, where you will get access to tons of data of the virtual farm you work on – do not worry, we will teach you how to use the software as well.
The competition goes on for four weeks in a virtual environment. At the beginning of each week, we will provide you with the parameters of the specific farm, make the production data available and define the agricultural / management problems you have to work out the solution.
Be ready with your team. Process the information. Develop a solution. Optimize input procurement, develop the machine park, make real management decisions and record your solution which will be evaluated by a professional jury.
You can be part of a community, where you can establish life-long connections with talented young members of the agricultural sector and build excellent professional partnerships with the representatives of companies.
