Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The present project examines the possibility of providing a grant under procedure No. BG-RRP-6.004 "Investments in technological and ecological modernization" from the National Recovery and Sustainability Plan of the Republic of Bulgaria (NRSP), Component: Sustainable Agriculture. The current proposal is to finance an investment in a telehandler and an autopilot and navigation system. They will be used to carry out activities ensuring the protection of environmental components and mitigating the consequences of climate change, introducing innovative production and digital technologies, production and organization technologies in agriculture, to automate work processes. The telescopic loader has a new more powerful and ecological engine with full electronic control, which allows a drastic reduction in fuel consumption by up to 20%. Exhaust emissions meet EPA T4F and EU Stage V standards, and the entire machine meets stricter environmental requirements. The telehandler is equipped with a GPS system that can track the generation and data exchange operations through a digital control system. The navigation system will be used when working with the tractor available on the farm. It provides the possibility of traceability and control of agricultural operations carried out with attached equipment and process management. The electronic tool positions and orients the equipment for more precise performance of all agrotechnical activities - from soil preparation before sowing to harvesting. The device is useful for all agrotechnical activities. Generates a volume of data on the performed treatments with the possibility of transferring and analyzing them to a computer. Precision agriculture has great potential in developing economic and environmental benefits, which are expressed in reducing the use of water, fertilizers, preparations, fuel, etc. And this contributes to environmental protection.
