Digital Agriculture

  • B.linc Workshop Lincoln University Campus Lincoln New Zealand (map)

Farm systems and their management are projected to radically change over the next 10 years, in part due to the development of new technologies including improved sensor capability, improved data connectivity and computer-based artificial intelligence (AI) decision support and self-learning. These systems are already being integrated into many on-farm machines and are likely to have an increasing impact on ag systems.

AgResearch are working on a project which develops strategic positioning of the science and digital agricultural technologies to provide solutions for pastoral agriculture.

Join us to hear from AgResearch’s Seth Laurenson and Remy Lasseur as they shares the exciting work that is happening at AgResearch to develop thought leadership and stimulate thinking and discussion about the role and the potential of digital systems in food production systems.

The B.linc VIBE event series is an opportunity to hear from one of the wider Lincoln precinct companies about their business and to touch base, reconnect and build connections across the precinct.

About Our Speakers

Dr Seth Laurenson is a senior scientist at AgResearch with a background in soil and water dynamics. His current research uses biophysical and spatial models to understand environmental dynamics at a landscape level. Recently Seth has been combining animation and gaming techniques with biophysical and spatial models to build visualisation tools to support land use decision-making and provide tangible solutions to landowners.  

Dr Remy Lasseur is a landscape ecologist with a PhD in ecosystem services mapping. Remy has a strong background in spatial modelling of landscape processes, remote sensing and assessing land multifunctionality. Remy current focus is on the use of visualisation technologies to develop a new generation of digital tools that will ultimately facilitate the sustainable transition of landscapes.
