DigiAgriApp is a free open-source suite to monitor agricultural fields. It is a comprehensive client-server platform designed to manage agricultural data with high granularity, from fields down to individual plants. It is built on standards to ensure flexibility and integration. Let’s see what’s new in 2026.
DigiAgriApp is a free and open-source suite to monitor agricultural fields. The development was started and carried out by the Digital Agriculture Unit of Fondazione Edmund Mach.
The suite is based on an Open Source architecture, built on a Django (Python) backend with a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database and a Flutter-based multi-platform client (mobile/desktop). The suite is completed by a plugin for QGIS for easier management of geographical data.
This year, development has slowed down somewhat. Few major changes have been made to the code, especially on the server side, although bug fixes have continued and some new features have been added to the cross-platform client.
2026 is the year of confirmation and stabilisation, with more energy devoted to dissemination. The first course dedicated to DigiAgriApp was held internally at the Mach Foundation, which made it possible to improve documentation and expand the user base. In addition, several videos were created to showcase the app's features.
