Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in agriculture for a variety of uses, from plant disease detection to weeding automation, soil status monitoring, crop prediction, irrigation management, and decreased use of resources for improving quality and productivity. This Thematic Session welcomes contributions related to a wide variety of interdisciplinary research and applications related to the application of intelligence systems in agriculture. AI can, in fact, provide highly positive effects on precision agriculture by optimizing, automating, and forecasting several aspects of farming and revolutionizing the sector, providing helpful information and driving decisions using multiple sources of data and different sensors.

Moreover, in the climate change era, AI can improve sustainability by optimizing resources such as water and soil management as well as forstering novel methods and approaches. We welcome innovative contributions, early results, and position papers addressing one or more of the topics listed below. We intend to foster informal discussions and bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to explore the challenges and opportunities of intelligence systems and agriculture.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you at the workshop!
