Perspectives on Agronomic Data Processing Methods

Monday, February 3, 2025, at the Télécom Paris campus (Palaiseau)

The H@rvest Alliance is pleased to invite you to its annual conference, which will take place on Monday, February 3rd, at Télécom Paris in the Estaunié auditorium in Palaiseau.

Each year, our conferences aim to shed light on future technologies and their applications in agriculture. The events of 2024, 2025, and 2026 are part of an ongoing effort that follows the agricultural data value chain. Together, we explore the various stages, from data acquisition through sensors to the tactical and strategic recommendations offered by digital and technological tools. Each conference highlights the challenges of technology usage and adoption, allowing participants to understand how innovations can transform the agricultural sector.

This year, our focus will be on data processing, modeling, and artificial intelligence. We will dive into how these tools help to better understand, anticipate, control, and collaborate in the agricultural field.

The presentations will be illustrated with real-world case studies from both the research community and solution developers working on the ground.

The central theme of our meeting will be the crucial issue of agroecology: can data science facilitate the transition to more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices?

Between 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM, PhD students and company representatives will be present in the Télécom Forum to showcase their research, solutions, and engage with interested participants.
