Tomorrow's agriculture: When pigs provide data and satellites recognize trees

How are new technologies changing agriculture and forestry? Answers can be found at our themed evening. Scientists from the Thünen Institute will show how artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used in the barn, in the field and in the forest: Automated systems analyse how cows and pigs behave in the barn and can thus detect diseases at an early stage, for example. Researchers are currently developing AI-based programmes that can automatically recognise and count benthic organisms on underwater videos, identify the clicking sounds of sperm whales or recognise and evaluate trees on satellite images.

Come along and discover how AI can support agriculture and forestry. The experts from the Thünen Institute will be on site and look forward to your questions and discussions:

• Christina Umstätter, Head of the Thünen Institute of Agricultural Technology
• Michael Kazda, scientist and expert for digital agriculture
• Nathalie Gottschalk, head of the large-scale KIDA project on artificial intelligence in food and agriculture
• Hamid Mousavi, AI consultant in the KIDA project
• Marko Henning, AI consultant in the KIDA project
• Lara Rzenno, Coordinator for knowledge transfer in the KIDA project
• Lea Löhn, Coordinator for counselling enquiries
