Rootcode Partners with Portugal to Launch Smart Farming AI & IoT System

Rootcode, a global software product engineering company, has announced its latest European government partnership with the City of Porto, Portugal. This partnership focuses on developing an innovative AI-driven crop health management mobile app and custom-designed hardware. The solution aims to help small-scale farmers and community gardeners in Porto adapt their farming practices to the effects of climate change, increase crop resilience and yields, and ensure sustainable food security for local agricultural communities. The solution is initially being piloted in the rural communities of Campanhã, Porto. 

The solution leverages precision sensors and artificial intelligence models to analyse key environmental variables, including temperature, humidity, soil quality, and climate data, to generate tailored, organic-farming-based recommendations. These insights will empower farmers to adapt their practices, enhance resilience against climate challenges, and optimise agricultural productivity. 

The project is part of CommuniCity, a European Union-funded initiative to drive citizen-centric innovation across diverse parts of society. Rootcode is collaborating closely with Porto Digital and Domus Social, two key municipal organisations in Porto, to support this solution's implementation and community adoption. 

The partnership with the city of Porto strengthens Rootcode’s vision to empower governments and enterprises to harness the potential of artificial intelligence fully. As AI continues transforming our lives, workplaces, and interactions, Rootcode is dedicated to assisting governments in using AI to create maximum impact on all parts of society, including rural

farmers, as in this project. With the upcoming launch of this solution, Rootcode looks forward to broadening its impact, engaging more governments, and driving sustainable, citizen-centred innovation throughout Europe.
