AgAPP-e is a European project dedicated to transforming phosphorus use in agriculture.
Phosphorus is a non-renewable resource, essential for global food production and widely used as fertiliser. Yet, its inefficient use causes environmental damage — especially through soil accumulation and runoff, which pollute water bodies.
In agriculture, repeated fertiliser applications and poor distribution lead to phosphorus imbalances, while a lack of governance, farmer engagement, and practical digital tools makes sustainable management difficult to implement.
AgAPP-e was launched to tackle this challenge, combining innovation, science, and digital technology to transform phosphorus management from the ground up — at both farm and national levels.
AgAPP-e is all about creating a new generation of tools to help farmers and policymakers take control of phosphorus use. At the heart of the project is a digital system that brings together data from satellites, sensors, and national databases — all processed using AI and machine learning.
The project is developing both a mobile app for farmers and a web platform for national authorities, making it easy to estimate, simulate, and improve phosphorus flows at any scale. These tools can offer clear recommendations, visual dashboards, and custom calculations that adapt to different needs.
