Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse, a hub for digital agriculture, combines technology monitoring, innovative software, sensors, satellites, drones and decision support tools for precision farming. With its living labs (Occitanum), public-private partnerships with players such as CNES<\/strong>, LAAS<\/strong>, ICAM<\/strong> and ANITI<\/strong>, and its European projects (Smart Green Water, OccitanIA), the region is driving open innovation and supporting players towards more efficient and sustainable agriculture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Agricultural robotics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The region is making its mark in agricultural robotics with leaders such as Na\u00efo Technologies<\/strong> and Agreenculture<\/strong>. RobAgri<\/strong>, a national network based in Toulouse, brings together 85 players and is piloting the France 2030 Agricultural Robotics Grand Challenge (\u20ac21 million). Autonomous robots and tools optimise practices, reduce inputs and carbon footprints, and promote sustainable agriculture. The FIRA<\/strong> (International Forum on Agricultural Robotics), held annually in Toulouse, showcases this unique ecosystem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Biosolutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Toulouse M\u00e9tropole has expertise covering the entire agricultural biosolutions value chain: cutting-edge research (INRAE<\/strong> laboratories, CNRS<\/strong>, schools), training, a network of innovative companies and support mechanisms (clusters, public funding, user networks). Concrete advances \u2013 bio-inspired molecules, organic fertilisers, redesigned cultivation methods \u2013 are helping to meet the challenges of reducing pesticide use and transitioning to agroecology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
