Once every two months, we introduce you to a specialist. This time it’s researcher Joseph Peller. He moves from spectral imaging to segmentation, phenotyping and working conditions in greenhouse horticulture: “You need to be able to take a more multidisciplinary approach.”
On the new world of Terahertz and Photonic Integrated Circuits, and how Raman spectroscopy and quantum dots will take agriculture by storm.
Jacob van den Borne is Mr Precision Agriculture. Based in Reusel, the Netherlands, he uses drones, sensors, satellites and robots to collect all sorts of data. And meanwhile, he also runs a large arable farming business. “If you don’t keep records, you can’t learn.”
Can you picture it? A flexible robot that assembles a packet of soup ingredients or a bag of bami vegetables by itself.
Once every two months, we introduce one of our experts. We give an insight into the person, their field of research and their expectations.
