Modern agriculture is at a crucial turning point. Climate change, dwindling resources, increasing environmental pressure and a growing shortage of skilled workers are presenting farmers around the world with ever greater challenges. At the same time, expectations regarding productivity, environmental compatibility and transparency are rising along the entire agricultural value chain. This situation calls for innovative approaches – technologies that not only increase efficiency but also enable the sustainable and responsible management of our natural resources. This is precisely where the European cooperation project ‘The Future of Precision Agriculture – Machine Learning for Autonomous Decision Mechanisms’ comes in.
