VIDEO: Automated weeder uses AI to manage weeds in vegetable crops
At the EIMA international agricultural machinery exhibition earlier this month, Ferrari Growtech had an impressive piece of equipment on the show floor weed control. Named the Twistweed, this automated weeder uses artificial intelligence to identify and remove weeds from between planted crops in the field. A camera on the Twistweed detects plants at 10 images/sec […] Read more

Solar dry, soldier fly, AI: Africans fight hunger with innovation
Alongside container farms in South Africa cultivating soldier flies for animal feed, solar-powered fish and crop dryers in Tanzania and machine-learning pest detectors in Kenya, Africans are coming up with innovative solutions to overcome the effects of climate change on food production.
Paraglider powers a new kind of sprayer
The Stratus AirSprayer is different than the quadcopters and fixed-wing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) typically associated with ag drones. Essentially, it’s a powered paraglider — one that can carry heavier loads and stay aloft much longer than conventional drones.
AI tool to identify agricultural pests in development
Science Notes: Large machine learning models aim to quickly identify agricultural pests
Iowa State University researchers are developing large, vision-based artificial intelligence tools to identify and then recommend controls for agricultural pests. The researchers are one of the first teams to win computing support from the new National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Pilot in the United States. The award will provide one million “node hours” of supercomputing […] Read more
Opinion: A new fight on the artificial intelligence front
At the recent Farm and Food Care Ontario annual meeting in Elora, the focus of afternoon presenters was on artificial intelligence. It wasn’t the usual rhetoric dominating the news and social media channels right now, which seems to be focused on how artificial intelligence tools may soon replace millions of jobs and perhaps take over […] Read more
