You are invited to attend NC State University’s Emerging Research Showcase on Thursday November 11, 2021, starting at 2:30 pm EST. Registration for this hybrid event (in-person or Zoom) is free.
Sensors, data collection, data analytics, and converting those data to actionable recommendations on-farm are critical to our faculty and students, and to our external partners. On November 11 we’ll focus on our precision agriculture initiatives and how they create synergies to further enhance our research. Natalie Hummel, Global Head of New Ag Technologies at UPL, LTD, will guide a panel discussion on the value of external stakeholder engagement while we build the Future-ready Farm. Faculty briefs follow the panel discussion.
