Our mission to enhance the agricultural sector involves a deep understanding of the everyday realities faced by workers in vineyards and olive groves. Beyond the physical efforts necessary for cultivation, these professionals must navigate a challenging combination of technical skills requirements.
The Mental Fatigue
While the physical demands are evident, the mental fatigue associated with precision farming is often overlooked. Pruning is not merely a manual task, but it is also a cognitive exercise that requires a high level of situational judgment.
A skilled farmer must act as a strategist when approaching an olive tree or vine, and they must integrate a multitude of factors in real time, including:
- Tree age and health
- Soil composition and moisture levels
- Local climate patterns
- Intended harvesting methods
As many experienced farmers emphasize, “no two trees are the same.” This necessity for constant adaptation and expertise creates a layer of mental exhaustion that matches the physical fatigue of the field.
Designing a Safer Future
We believe that innovation should serve as a shield for the workforce. By documenting obstacles like this, we can better tailor our robotic and digital innovations to take over the most dangerous mentally draining tasks. Protecting the health of our farmers and workers is our mission, and the pillar to develop a sustainable Agricultural Sector.
Follow our journey as we continue to explore how technology can mitigate these risks and create a safer and more resilient workplace for all.
