They took on the challenge
Season 3
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!
Inform’élevage is an innovative digital tool for French livestock farmers. Built as a conversational software, it provides quick, reliable information on livestock diseases. By asking farmers simple questions about symptoms, it identifies probable diseases and offers best practice guides along with possible treatments.
Circul’Egg developed an innovative process to transform eggshells into calcium carbonate powder and eggshell membrane powder. These new raw materials can be used in animal feed, dietary supplements, and cosmetics.
Tou’roule is a connected safety device that protects farmers working near agricultural machinery. A wearable unit communicates with receivers on the machines, which can automatically or manually stop operations if danger is detected.
Glan’Mapp is a mobile app that connects farmers with volunteer gleaners and food aid associations. It organizes and structures solidarity gleaning in the Hauts-de-France region, giving food aid beneficiaries access to fresh, seasonal produce while reducing food waste.
OSIRIS Agriculture is an irrigation robot for potato crops designed to reduce labor time and workload for farmers while achieving significant water savings.
AgriMax analyzes the nutritional value of grazed grass for dairy cows on a daily basis. This solution helps farmers better manage herd nutrition and reduce reliance on imported feed supplements.
Flo’Counter focuses on optimizing labor for vanilla pollination—the second most expensive spice in the world. By using cutting-edge technologies, vanilla producers can reduce production costs and improve efficiency.
Go Gold Drone supports field monitoring by mapping plot variability through automated image processing of aerial photos. It then recommends adapted treatments, improving precision farming practices.
DigitAvi is an autonomous mobile chicken coop that optimizes interactions between poultry and pasture to combine multiple productions. Goals: save labor time, boost profitability, and improve both the environmental performance and image of poultry farming.
From student projects to real businesses, these teams show how Make IT Agri can be a springboard for turning innovation into concrete impact.
