AI in agriculture research

Artificial intelligence changes the game in agriculture research: A neural network can tell whether a plot is “Well” or “less” adapted to a breeding objective. And it guesses an expert’s analysis with 95% accuracy! Learn how the AI researcher Rony Charles has trained the model on a huge dataset of phenomics, soil and weather data from a multi-environment Hybrid Corn trial.

How Bumblebees support sustainable agriculture?

Did you know Bumblebees 🐝 detect the chemical signature of stress tolerant plants 💪🌱? What a windfall for sustainable agriculture: Pollinators can help select varieties adapted to low input farming, and create crops that produce more with less! I’m not saying it’s easy to count how many times a plant gets her flowers visited – far from easy in fact 😅 That’s why European experts (European Innovation Council EIC) founded the collaborative project DARkWIN, started in 2023 for 3,5 years.
