The Bavarian Digital Agriculture Competence Network (KNeDL)
Working Together for Smart and Sustainable Agriculture
What will the agriculture of the future look like? Technological advances are opening up fascinating new possibilities in the fields and 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 to practical use and transform Bavarian agriculture. Join us!
Where digitalization takes root.
Drones that help rescue fawns or detect fungal infections or pest infestations early on. Sensors that monitor the condition of the soil and plants. Tractors that drive autonomously across fields. What sounds like the future is, in some cases, already a reality in Bavaria today.
These ideas and innovations emerge 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 on an equal footing. Agriculture, research, business, and politics are working together to bring digital solutions to the fields and barns—for an agricultural sector that is economically strong, environmentally responsible, and a technological leader.
Whether through events, projects, or direct exchanges of experience: We are the platform where innovative ideas turn into real progress.
