🌱 Smart Farming, Powered by Photonics: RETINA Presents Its Agriculture Use Case at EPIC Today! #Photonics is revolutionising smart farming—unlocking new levels of sustainability, precision, and productivity. As climate change and resource constraints challenge traditional #agriculture, advanced photonic hashtag#sensing becomes key to enabling data-driven, environmentally responsible decisions in the field. At today’s EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Photonics for Smart Farming, the RETINA project will showcase its precision viticulture solution—a multi-modal sensing system that combines short- and long-range #LiDAR with hyperspectral imaging (SWIR & VNIR) to: 🔍 Monitor water stress 🦠 Detect grapevine trunk disease early 📈 Forecast harvest yields in real time This innovative platform integrates ground-based and drone-mounted photonic sensors, creating a new paradigm in vineyard monitoring and crop management. 🎤 Representing RETINA at the event is ADVID - Associação para o Desenvolvimento da Viticultura Duriense, a key partner based in Portugal's Douro Valley. ADVID brings unmatched expertise in sustainable viticulture, helping ensure RETINA’s solution aligns with real-world grower needs and industry standards. Let’s talk about how light can help grow the future of agriculture. 🌾✨ #Photonics #SmartFarming #PrecisionViticulture #RETINAproject #EPICMeeting #AgriTech #SustainableFarming #LIDAR #HyperspectralImaging #AIinAgriculture @Photonics21 @EU_HaDEA
