PRESENTATION

Integrated Photonics in Precision Farming

Feeding 10B people by 2050 in a world affected by climate change and a loss of Biodiversity created unprecedented challenges for agriculture and food processing. Switching to more sustainable technologies called precision farming replaces traditional approaches with detailed knowledge of growth conditions, which requires ubiquitous and advanced sensing and location technology. But this needs to be small robust and very affordable.Integrated photonics can play a big role here with smart sensing, communication, lidar and robotics solutions. The presentation will give an overview of new technology platforms and developments as part of the PhotonDelta growth fund
