Technology and water management drive agricultural innovation in Spain and Mexico

Agricultural sectors in Spain and Mexico are increasingly integrating technology to manage water resources and optimize production. In Los Monegros, Spain, the II Agro-food Breakfast highlighted that water availability and digitalization are critical for the future of farming and livestock. Experts emphasized that smart irrigation systems, moisture sensors, and connected weather stations are essential to mitigate climate uncertainty and ensure efficient resource use.

Similarly, in Querétaro, Mexico, the Experimental Agro-Livestock Field at Tec de Monterrey functions as a data laboratory. The facility utilizes automated greenhouses that react to solar radiation changes, soil moisture sensors in vineyards, and robotic milking systems. These technologies allow for precise monitoring of variables such as plant nutrition, animal feeding, and methane emissions, aiming to ensure that every drop of water is utilized effectively by the plants.
