4. Sustainability science perspective on AI application on agricultural systems

MISSION STATEMENT

Agriculture plays a vital role and faces tremendous pressure to feed a growing world population from limited available resources. This pressure has been mitigated by intensive management practices, relying, e.g. on the massive use of fertilizers and chemicals and extensive monoculture areas. This approach, however, has its own limitations and undesirable effects, making clear the need for sustainable actions while keeping increasing yields. AI-based agricultural management has brought emerging opportunities to improve agricultural sustainability. However, to find the right, feasible and viable solutions to make the transition towards sustainable agriculture systems that feed an increasing population under the planetary boundaries, it is necessary that scientists from different fields join forces together with industry.

This conference aims to focus on finding solutions for the agriculture issues of our time. It promotes the exchange of scientific research and solutions from industry for interdisciplinary collaboration and networking. To bring scientists and stakeholders that have the same goal, and work on the same societal issue, but have different backgrounds. By bringing the people and their knowledge together, we may be able to take the steps towards solutions that can bring our agriculture systems to a more sustainable situation.

This conference is framed around themes which are connected to the big transitions of our time. Each theme is kicked off by two plenary keynote speeches of 20 min, followed by a discussion. After the plenary session, a range of different parallel sessions will be organized.

We want to stress that this conference is not only for scientists but also for those people from outside the scientific world working on transitions to more efficient and sustainable agriculture systems, towards climate mitigation and adaptation, and a circular economy with a focus on the sustainable use and management of the natural resources.
