“We’re proud to be an active part of this important project”, says Thomas Frey, Creative Director at GIANTS Software. Implementing Precision Farming in the global video game phenomenon Farming Simulator is one of EITs multiple steps to increase awareness. The EIT Food funded project aims to provide knowledge regarding sustainable farming technology. Downloaded more than one million times, the first version of the Precision Farming DLC for Farming Simulator 19 proved a great success.

There’s a reason for all this too, with an EU-funded project that is looking to spread awareness. Existing features will return and be improved on too – players will get the chance to acquire soil maps by a service provider in exchange for a fee, saving time on taking soil samples themselves. This comes in alongside the features of the initial version released for Farming Simulator 19 which laid the foundation by introducing soil types, soil sampling, variable rate fertilization and economic analysis. The new environmental score helps players to increase the sustainability of farms and the yield of crops by choosing smart technology made available with the DLC.

The Precision Farming Free DLC adds crop sensors and variable seeding and drilling, variable weed control, as well as the variable rate application of organic fertilizer.
