Producing More Sustainably with Digital Technology
summary
The talk describes using precision-farming technologies to raise food production sustainably: soil and yield sensors generate zone maps for variable-rate fertiliser, a slurry analyzer measures N and P for correct dosing, and a camera plus neural-net sprayer targets weeds to cut herbicide use by up to 90%. It also presents fully autonomous tractors (John Deere) equipped with six stereo cameras and per-plant sensor-driven dosing, noting current European legal limits on deployment.
