Artificial Intelligence (AI) in plant research
How can artificial intelligence (AI) transform plant research? AI offers opportunities for faster analyses and new insights, but also raises questions about data and ethics. Discover how the experts at Wageningen Plant Research are using AI to advance sustainable agriculture.
AI behind major transitions in the agriculture sector
Read everything about the role that big data and AI can play in sustainable solutions for the horticulture and agriculture sector, for example through precision agriculture, digital twins and vertical farming.
AI algorithms can accurately chart crop growth and determine exactly how much water, fertiliser or plant protection products are needed per square metre, or even per plant.
New chair group Artificial Intelligence
The brand new chair group Artificial Intelligence highlights the growing importance of AI for WUR. Chair Ioannis Athanasiadis: “AI offers great opportunities, it is up to us as humans to decide how best to exploit them.” Read everything about AI as a driver of agricultural transition.
You can devise much better AI solutions when you work within a multidisciplinary team. Fortunately, WUR has a lot of experience with that.
