A.Prof. Sigfredo Fuentes has been invited as Keynote Speaker to major Grapevine Conferences

A.Prof. Sigfredo Fuentes has been invited to two major grapevine conferences in 2021 and 2022:

  1. XIth International Symposium of Grapevine Physiology and Biotechnology (November 2021, Stellenbosch, South Africa). “Artificial Intelligence Advances for Digital Viticulture and Oenology”.
  2. XIII International Symposium on Grapevine Breeding and Genetics (July 2022, Landau, Germany). “New and emerging digital technologies for plant phenotyping using Artificial Intelligence (AI)”.

Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine research group received a 2021 Grants4Ag.

Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine research group received a 2021 Grants4Ag. Bayer Crop Science Awards 2021
After receiving more than 600 proposals from almost 40 countries, the Bayer Crop Science team has selected 24 proposals to fund. From protecting plants with beneficial bacteria to detecting disease through drones and AI, these 24 scientists have outstanding innovations to help farmers protect crops. Congratulations to the 2021 Grants4Ag awardees!

Digital Agriculture, Food and Wine Group

Digital Agriculture (DA) deals with the implementation and integration of digital data, sensors, and tools on agricultural, food, and wine applications from the paddock/vineyard to consumers. These technologies can range from big data, sensor technology, sensor networks, remote sensing, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Data processing is performed using new and emerging technologies, such as computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, among others.

The latest advances made by the DAFW group for crop monitoring/decision making, assessment of the quality of produces, sensory analysis for consumer perception and animal stress, and welfare assessment.
