Researchers from the University of Bonn are revolutionizing farming by leveraging AI and new technologies to increase efficiency and sustainability. In a recent paper, published in theModern, high-performance agriculture has enabled the Earth to feed over eight billion people. However, this success comes with significant environmental costs.
Information from various airborne or ground sensors are combined to help agriculture become much more efficient and environmentally friendly in the future.

In their paper, the researchers from PhenoRob also use examples to demonstrate what current technologies are already capable of. For instance, a “digital twin” of areas under cultivation can be created and fed a steady stream of various kinds of data with the help of sensors, e.g. to detect root growth or the release of gaseous nitrogen compounds from the soil.
