How To Start With Precision Farming Webinar

Posted on by

20.5.2022 – 10:00 AM CEST 

In this webinar, we will present the first steps that need to be taken to implement precision agriculture on your farm. The webinar will include the creation of a database of parcel boundaries, and the precise determination of travel lines and routes for each application.

Do you address the following questions? Digital field boundaries, optimal waylines, data collection and monitoring, variable rate applications, on-farm operational trials, yield variability?

Webinar will lalso introduce following challenges of Agrihub INSPIRE Hackathon 2022:

How to improve farming advisory services at 123rd OGC Member Meeting

Posted on by

Let us cordially invite you to join the upcoming Agriculture DWG session on “How to improve farming advisory services – from global needs and data to local advisory services”.

During the session, we plan to provide insights into existing advisory services, analyse problems with advisory services, look at how global data can be used locally, and how we can integrate local and global data. We will also discuss how different models and semantics can influence the transferring of solutions from country to country.

The session will be held during the 123rd OGC Member Meeting on Wednesday 15 June, 12:00 – 13:30 PM CET.

We would love to have you as a speaker addressing the following questions from the perspective of your organization:

  • What are the main problems of current advisory services?
  • Where do you see the future? Global or local solutions?
  • Can we transfer experience from industry to agriculture?
  • How to integrate global and local data?

Of course you can also nominate any of your colleagues if they would be a better fit to speak at the session. And please feel free to generally share this information within your organisation.

Please contact Hana Kubíčková at hana.kubickova@plan4all.eu to let us know if you are interested or if you have additional questions.

Drones Utilization for Crop Protection Webinar

Posted on by

In this webinar, we will introduce you to the challenge of the Agrihub INSPIRE Hackathon 2022, namely Challenge #15 Drones utilization for crop protection, which is one of innovation experiments defined for the Agrihub CZ&SK project. The objective of the innovation experiment is twofold – to present the possibilities for the exploitation and implementation of drones in agricultural practice, especially in the crop protection, and to open discussion for further cooperation for this field in the frame of the triple helix principle – R&D/farmers/SMEs.

The webinar is scheduled on 13/05 at 10 AM CEST.

Venue: virtual
Language: english
Duration: 1 hour

Agenda:

  • 10:00 – 10:15 Introduction to Drones utilization for crop protection
  • 10:15 – 10:45 Farming robots and the use of drones in agriculture – Presentation of the use of drones in agriculture and a short introduction to the newest methods used in aerial farming.
    • Presentation agenda:
      • Introduction to the application of robots in agriculture,
      • use of drones in agriculture,
      • recent methods used in aerial farming.
  • 10:45 – 11:15 Competences of university students for the use of drones in agriculture

Invitation to Open Land Use Webinar

Posted on by

In this webinar, we will introduce you two challenges of the Agrihub INSPIRE Hackathon 2022, namely Challenge #8 How to use and improve OLU 2.0 and Challenge #7 OLU4Africa. It’s because these two challenges will cooperate closely on their goals. The broad goal of the CH8 is to enhance the established Open Land Use (OLU) 2.0 database with other thematic datasets and/or with data from different regions. That is where a goal of CH7 comes into play, which is to improve a second version of Open Land Use map for Africa primarily with ESA World Cover data. 

During the webinar, we briefly present OLU 2.0, its capabilities and the way how to use it. Then, we present some already done use cases from Africa or China, while the open questions for the hackathon will be stated.

The webinar is scheduled on 6/05 at 10 AM CEST.

Invitation to Utilization of Sensors in Agriculture Webinar

Posted on by

Sensors are one of important data producers that are used in many domains, including agriculture. Sensors can be utilized to monitor status of fields, buildings, livestock, machinery, delivery products and many many others use cases. 

The Webinar will introduce our open solution for sensor data management – SensLog with its extending components – Connectors and Analytics. We will introduce our web client application for visualization of measurements and management of the sensor networks. FIE20 application is a results of SmartAgriHubs Flagship Innovation Experiment #20 integrating different datasets useful for farmers in one application. 

During the webinar we will also introduce you to the Innovation Experiment of the Agrihub CZ&SK project that deals with the assessment of the available amount of water in irrigation and other reservoirs. The sensors we are dealing with are two types:

  • prototype of ultrasonic sensor for water level elevation
  • soil moisture sensors

The sensors will allow us to get the current data in watersheds and water reservoirs and with the use of weather forecast we will be able to estimate the amount of water that is currently stored in the reservoir and how much water will flow to the reservoir after forthcoming rain events.

 

Registration for the webinar is FREE. Register yourself via this link.

The webinar is scheduled on May 3rd 10-11 CEST.
