Agriculture is still the occupation of the majority of Turkish people with more than 2.2 million registered farmers and the country being one of the few self-sufficient countries in the world in terms of food. However, more than 1 million tractors are not compatible with the existing high-tech systems providing farm management and precision agriculture solutions as most farmers can’t afford to upgrade their equipment or buy a new one. In the framework of Smart Farm Management project, this need will be addressed, developing a novel, low-cost solution, able to optimize spraying and fertilizing efficiency and to evaluate their environmental footprint. Thus, small and medium scale farmers will be able to manage their farm more effective, applying precision agriculture solutions using the existing machinery without having to purchase new and expensive implements, increasing their competitiveness with immediate impact on the rest of the economy. The proposed solution includes three complementary tools, a mobile application for notifying and informing farmers about the most efficient process, a web-based application for mapping, predicting the ideal timing for the operations and conducting environmental analysis and finally an actuator and a terminal box for controlling the whole agricultural system. Besides the cost benefit of the project, ensuring food and nutritional security, together with resource efficiency, and facing climate change is a major challenge for society. Smart Farm Management is aligned with this challenge, providing a resource-efficient eco-innovative solution, minimizing resources consumption. The better targeted application of chemicals will greatly diminish many of the agricultural related environmental problems, such as underground water contamination, will improve the working conditions, eliminating the exposure of farmers in the fertilizing and spraying chemicals and will minimize at the same time the chemicals residues of the agricultural products that have been accused of burden the human health of consumers achieving national and eventually global food security and health prevention.

农业仍然是大多数土耳其人的职业，有220多万注册农民，该国是世界上少数几个粮食自给自足的国家之一。然而，超过100万台拖拉机与现有的提供农场管理和精准农业解决方案的高科技系统不兼容，因为大多数农民无力升级设备或购买新设备。在智能农场管理项目的框架内，这一需求将得到解决，开发一种新型的低成本解决方案，能够优化喷洒和除草效率，并评估其环境足迹。因此，中小规模的农民将能够更有效地管理他们的农场，使用现有的机械应用精准农业解决方案，而无需购买新的和昂贵的工具，提高他们的竞争力，对经济的其他部分产生直接影响。拟议的解决方案包括三个互补工具，一个用于通知农民最有效流程的移动的应用程序，一个用于绘制地图、预测操作的理想时机和进行环境分析的基于网络的应用程序，最后是用于控制整个农业系统的致动器和终端盒。除了该项目的成本效益外，确保粮食和营养安全以及资源效率，并应对气候变化是社会面临的一项重大挑战。智能农场管理与这一挑战保持一致，提供资源高效的生态创新解决方案，最大限度地减少资源消耗。更有针对性地使用化学品将大大减少许多与农业有关的环境问题，如地下水污染，将改善工作条件，消除农民接触农药和喷洒化学品的机会，同时将尽量减少农产品中的化学品残留，这些残留被指控对消费者的人类健康造成负担，粮食安全和健康预防。
