The Competence Network Digital Agriculture Bavaria (KNeDL)

Working together for a smart and sustainable agriculture

What will the agriculture of the future look like? Technological progress is opening up fascinating new possibilities in the fields and in the barns, from robots and sensors to data analysis and AI. The KNeDL brings together people from agriculture, research, business and politics to put these technologies into practice in a meaningful way and transform Bavarian agriculture. Be part of it!

Where digitalization takes root.

Drones that help to rescue fawns or detect fungal or pest infestations at an early stage. Sensors that monitor the condition of the soil and plants. Tractors that drive autonomously across fields. What sounds like the future is already partly a reality in Bavaria today.

About us

These ideas and innovations are created where theory meets practice:
in the Bavarian Digital Agriculture Competence Network (KNeDL), an initiative of the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism. This is where exchange and cooperation take place at eye level. Agriculture, research, business and politics work together to bring digital solutions to the fields and stables - for an agriculture that is economically strong, ecologically responsible and technologically leading.

Whether at events, projects or in a direct exchange of experience: we are the platform on which innovative ideas become real progress.
