Progress in the TECNOTRUF Project
We share with you the field visit taking place as part of the TECNOTRUF project, which focuses on new technologies for managing truffle plantations and improving their economic performance. On February 28th, we visited one of the demonstration sites in Cella (Teruel), where a test drone flight was undertaken. The demonstration included flight programming,
The project continues with the planned activities, and the first execution period is close to finalisation. TECNOTRUF, which is coordinated by ZINNAE, gathers different areas of knowledge, including a truffle company, MYTRUFF, two consulting firms, QILEX and MICOLAB, two research centres, EEAD-CSIC and CITA, and three technology companies, ARATECK, GEOSLAB, and ACG DRONE, along with the Aragón Food and Nutrition Cluster.
The project is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPA) (20%) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (FEADER) (80%), with a total budget of €599,114.11.
