1. John Deere FarmSight™Agriculture has had several revolutions in the past century, and it currently faces what may be its greatest challenge to date – population growth and the increased need for food, fiber, and fuel in the future. To meet this challenge the agricultural industry will have to drive efficiencies to a level never seen before, within a context of several macro trends (e.g., farm sizes increasing, environmental sustainability requirements evolving). John Deere FarmSightTM... M. Stelford |
2. Use of Precision Technologies to Conduct Successful Within-field, On-farm TrialsPerforming randomized replicated trials in row crop field environments has the potential to increase crop production in environmentally sustainable ways. Successful implementation requires an understanding of implement capabilities and sources of potential systematic error, including operator error. Equipment capabilities can be thought of as a series of several critical “links in a chain,” each with implications that propagate downstream. We will... M. Stelford, A. Krmenec |
3. Capacity Building of African Young Scientists in Precision Agriculture Through Cross-regional Academic Mobility for Enhanced Climate-smart Agri-food System: an Intra Africa Mobility Project on Precision AgricultureClimate change is one of the main problems affecting food and nutrition globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Adapting to and/or mitigating climate change in the agri-food sector requires merging information technologies, genetic innovations, and sustainable farming practices to empower the agricultural youth sector to create effective and locally adapted solutions. Precision Agriculture applied to crops (PAAC), has been advocated as a strategic solution to mitigate/adapt agriculture at... N. Fassinou hotegni, A. Karangwa, A. Manyatsi, K.A. Frimpong, M. Amri, D.
