The Instituto Politécnico de Bragança hosted the International Seminar on Precision Agriculture – Agro@TecVerde at its School of Agriculture, bringing together researchers, companies, and national and international experts to discuss technological innovation in the agricultural sector.
Over two days, participants explored advanced solutions for agriculture and forestry, including drones, smart sensors, RGB cameras, satellite imagery, intelligent irrigation systems, digital pest monitoring, soil fertility analysis, and agricultural management software. Robotics, automation, and real-time data collection were central themes, highlighting the growing role of artificial intelligence in improving productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
The seminar fostered dialogue between academia and industry, featuring practical case studies in viticulture, silvopastoral systems, and livestock monitoring. A roundtable discussion concluded the event, focusing on the opportunities and challenges of precision agriculture.
The initiative was developed within a consortium that includes the Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Universidade do Porto, Universidade dos Açores, and Instituto Politécnico de Viana do Castelo, reinforcing interinstitutional cooperation and applied research in support of agricultural innovation.
