On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to announce that the 11th International Symposium on Machinery and Mechatronics for Agriculture and Biosystems Engineering (ISMAB 2024) will be held on September 25–27, 2024, in Bali, Indonesia. It is the first time since its inception that this symposium, which has been held in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, will be convened in Indonesia. The Japanese Society of Agricultural Machinery and Food Engineers (JSAM) hosts this symposium in cooperation with the Indonesian Society of Agricultural Engineering (ISAE), a member of the ASEAN Conference on Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering (ACABE).

7th Symposium on Agri-Tech Economics for Sustainable Futures All day event - 28-29th September 2024   This year's Symposium is co-organized by the Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics at Harper Adams University and the School of Agriculture, Policy, and Development at the University of Reading. The event will take place at the University of Reading, UK on September 28-29, 2024. The event is supported by the International Network for Economic Research (INFER), Centre for Effective Innovation in Agriculture (CEIA), International Society of Precision Agriculture Economics Community, and the School of Sustainable Food & Farming (HAU).    This symposium provides an opportunity for all those interested in the topic of Agri-Tech Economics for Sustainable Futures to discuss their research and to exchange ideas. Researchers are invited to submit both empirical and theoretical papers that are broadly consistent with the symposium’s special topic. The ISPA Economics Community will be hosting a special session on the Economics of Precision Agriculture. If you are interested in presenting your work during the symposium under any of the themed sessions, you are invited to submit a paper or abstract by the 26 July 2024. There will be opportunities for online ...more

With the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Precision Livestock Farming (SPSAS-PLF), we intend to make a qualitative leap in PLF research. By bringing together worldwide known scientists, we seek to inspire graduate students and young scientists to explore various aspects of PLF research in-depth. The goal of this program is to foster great interest in PLF research, empowering young scientists to play a global role in advancing science and bridging the gap between fundamental and applied research in PLF. During the School, short courses and workshops about machine learning, statistical tools, and database systems will be delivered. Program applications will be accepted through 10 February 2024.

The integration of multispectral and hyperspectral sensing technologies has become pivotal across diverse applications such as defense, security, agriculture, and geospatial endeavors. This proposed workshop focusing on agriculture, and geospatial endeavors recognizes the expanding landscape of research and commercial applications, facilitated by advancements in radar, audio, and image-sensing technologies spanning the electromagnetic spectrum. Encompassing ultraviolet through longwave infrared (0.3 – 14 μm) spectral regions, these technologies enable data capture and retrieval across field, airborne, and satellite platforms.   To remain current with the dynamic developments in the field, the workshop will place a strong emphasis on sensing, data collection, data processing, and the advancement of computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms. It will serve as a platform to unveil cutting-edge surveillance technologies and foster discussions on the efficacy of novel algorithms in processing data from diverse sensing technologies and networking platforms. The workshop aims to offer insights into hyperspectral and multispectral sensing, empowering organizations and the research community to harness these technologies for enhanced decision-making and resource management.
