🌿 In celebrating the #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate agrifoodTEF women and their role in the agritech sector. ✨ From #engineers to #lawyers, our team includes coordinators of national and European activities, business model developers, communication experts, senior scientists, and senior researchers. Together, they all contribute to the mission of agrifoodTEF: accelerating the adoption of AI and robotics in agriculture and food systems. 👩‍🔬 As #women still struggle to establish themselves in senior and #leadership roles, especially in the scientific field, agrifoodTEF is proud to have a team of women coming from all over #Europe. 🙏 Together, we are agrifoodTEF: agrifoodtef.eu/training-catal…

🛰️ Did you know that #drones are becoming essential in monitor and collect data in vineyards, livestock management, and arable farming? 🌿 As their importance is growing, so is their performance and security: for this reason, our next #training webinar organised by the French Node of agrifoodTEF will explore how drones and digital technologies will transform the agrifood sector, and see how @LNE_fr supports the secure and reliable deployment of drone technologies through advanced testing, simulation, and certification. 🔍 This session will provide an overview of the drone testing lifecycle, from initial laboratory simulations to real-world applications on experimental farms. Participants will discover how drones are used for precise data annotation and soil/crop monitoring, and gain an introduction to the critical principles of cybersecurity certification. 💡 With this training, you will learn how to: 🔸 Identify the three pillars of drone validation (simulation, laboratory/cage testing, and experimental farm trials). 🔸 Understand how drones support specific sectors, including viticulture, horticulture, livestock, and forage management. 🔸 Learn the methodologies for collecting, preparing, and annotating high-quality agricultural data via aerial platforms. 🔸 Recognise the importance of cybersecurity certification and the standards required to protect agricultural data and hardware. 📆 Save the date: Join us on Thursday, the 12th of March from 11:00 to 12:30! 💻 Do not miss this opportunity - register now and save your spot: agrifoodtef.eu/training-catal…
