They took on the challenge
Season 7
Each year, the Make IT Agri Challenge celebrates innovative student projects dedicated to more sustainable agriculture and food systems. On this page, explore the finalists and winning teams from previous editions: ambitious ideas, concrete solutions, and passionate talent. Plenty to inspire you and maybe spark your own desire to join the adventure!
GeoFresh is an innovative potato storage solution using geocooling—a technology that harnesses the soil’s natural coolness to maintain a stable 6°C. This reduces energy consumption and carbon footprint while ensuring harvest quality.
PAC+ is an app designed to help farmers optimize EU CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) subsidies. Farmers enter their data (cropped area, livestock, practices) to receive tailored analysis and guidance. Their ambition: make expert-level support affordable and accessible to simplify procedures and maximize available aid.
Hortenia is an innovative app that supports gardeners—from beginners to enthusiasts—in managing their vegetable plots. By integrating smart crop rotation, it helps maintain healthy soils and promotes sustainable, eco-friendly gardening.
LCTX – Aéroferme is a custom-built structure with a rotating mechanical system, offering both automated and manual operations. At its core lies aeroponics, an advanced farming technique still little used in France. It drastically reduces water and land use while maximizing productivity—an adaptable, sustainable solution for the cities of tomorrow.
Repro’Genet is a mobile app designed to help farmers improve herd genetics.
Using AI and photographs, the tool analyzes cows’ morphological traits and recommends the best sires to optimize offspring quality.
GreenFusyon developed an innovative photobioreactor to produce chlorella, a microalgae rich in proteins, omegas, and antioxidants.
Their circular approach uses by-products from methanization to fuel algae growth. By automating culture conditions with integrated technologies, they aim to maximize productivity—an innovation at the crossroads of agriculture, energy, and biotechnology.
Plani’Foresterie is a digital tool that helps farmers model and optimize agroforestry systems. By entering parcel data, users receive tailored configurations and economic simulations to assess potential gains such as reduced inputs and available subsidies. The goal: make agroforestry accessible, profitable, and high-performing.
AgriCare is an innovative solution to simplify farmers’ daily operations. The tool optimizes vehicle fleet monitoring and streamlines maintenance management. By automating repetitive tasks and centralizing key data, it saves time, prevents oversights, and helps anticipate workloads. Their ambition: reinvent everyday farm management with a simple, effective, field-ready solution.
Mon Cheptel facilitates collaboration between farmers and veterinarians. The platform provides intuitive access to animal records and centralized data, reducing administrative burden while improving herd management. The aim: smoother cooperation between sector professionals.
TerraGrow is an innovative software that transforms farm management. It centralizes plot management, finances, and administrative tasks on a single intuitive platform. It also facilitates information sharing with agricultural partners and simplifies access to resources and expert advice.
From student projects to real businesses, these teams show how Make IT Agri can be a springboard for turning innovation into concrete impact.
