The Autonomous Greenhouse - Artificial Intelligence & Greenhouse Controls Can artificial intelligence help cultivate cherry tomatoes in a greenhouse? This challenge was faced by the international teams that participated in the Autonomous Greenhouse challenge of Wageningen University & research and Tencent. The ever-growing world population gives rise to an increased demand for fresh and healthy food. Greenhouse horticulture could play a crucial role but is hampered by a lack of skilled personnel to manage the cultivation of crops. Artificial intelligence (AI) could help solve this problem. Find out how the AI teams results compared to the human reference growers and how AI may help growers make better decisions in the daily struggle to balance high production and high fruit quality with costly inputs and low resource use. |

Algorithms Can Feed the World! The growing world population needs healthy and save food. Greenhouses can provide a big portion of this increasing demand for food. The acreages with greenhouses are growing, but there are not enough experienced human growers to operate these greenhouses. This problem becomes even bigger in the following 5-10 years. Smart, autonomous, steering algorithms can provide solid solutions! It can be done but demands a shift of minds and social innovation. Are we ready for this new era in food production? During the presentation you’ll also get insights in the way algorithms and smart data solutions provide the growers a digital brain. This brain does not only optimize climate, irrigation and energy in the greenhouse. It actually steers the greenhouse installations, including the climate computer. Curious how that works, how this impacts day-to-day operations and how the industry benefits the value? |
