From precision farming 1.0 to 2.0: challenges and opportunities"
When Agricultural Machinery embraces the GEO-ICT and Data revolution
From crop selection and protection to harvest, GEO-ICT components play an active part at every stage of modern agricultural practices. Precision farming means that cultivation and plant protection take place in the right location thanks to GPS activation; precise monitoring is also possible thanks to up-to-date satellite images and the analysis of all data streams from sensors leads to a better understanding and a better knowledge.
During this Agoria workshop on 23 June, the two worlds of “agricultural mechanisation and GEO-ICT” will be invited to exchange views to learn from each other and find opportunities. The programme includes presentations by inspiring speakers offering broad yet precise insight into current developments.
