SCOPE
Rising threats from climate change require leveraging solutions to provide reliable, sustainable, and fair food sources to an increasing world population. This requires a complete transformation of our current food production system. This shift is starting in Agriculture, mainly thanks to the advent of breakthroughs such as high throughput phenotyping and agriculture robots. More resilient crop genotypes are available; precision farming optimises yields while minimising costs and agricultural robots can assist farmers in harsh conditions. Therefore, this Workshop aims to showcase how integration solutions will help reach the era of Agriculture 4.0, helping future farmers in sustainable and fair management of lands and soils and reducing the agricultural impact on the ecosystems while improving its profitability.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Smart Sensor Networks
- Crop Phenotypical and Genotypical Assessment
- Crop Pest and Disease Early Warning Systems
- Crop Lifecycle Monitoring Systems
- Cooperative Harvesting and Farming
- Data-driven Sustainability
- Precision Farming
- Controlled Environment Agriculture
- Agricultural Robotics
- 2D, 3D and Multi-modal Vision Systems in Agriculture
- Imaging and Data Processing for Plant Phenotyping
- Green Economy
- Agribusiness Applications
