Recommendation system by: Government

FaST

FaST is a digital platform aiming at providing farmers with the optimal nutrient management reccomendations for their farm, helping them abide by the Common Agricultural policy framework. It is a platform providing recommendations based on machine learning applied to image recognition, as well as the use and reuse of IoT data, various public sector data, and user generated data.
