Darmstadt, Germany, 23 – 24 June 2025
Co-located with 21st International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2025)
The upcoming Workshop on Intelligent Systems for Smart Agriculture aims to bring together researchers, scientists, and engineers to address critical challenges in agriculture, environmental protection, and sustainable development. The conference will focus on integrating intelligent systems and AI technologies to enhance productivity and environmental stewardship across diverse contexts, including natural, urban, and human-modified environments.
As agriculture faces increasing pressures from climate change and environmental degradation, the need for advanced data collection and management strategies is more urgent than ever. Traditional methods of environmental monitoring and are often time-consuming and costly, limiting their scope and effectiveness. Intelligent systems offer cost-effective, real-time solutions, allowing for more detailed and timely assessments of environmental media (e.g., soils, water, and waste). These technologies are critical for managing heterogeneous and rapidly changing conditions in agricultural and environmental processes. Such developments are well-aligned with the philosophy of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs).
A key theme of this workshop will be the deployment of AI “at the edge”, addressing challenges related to communication limitations, energy efficiency, and adapting AI models to low-capacity processors. Participants will explore applications of these innovations in various fields, such as precision agriculture, culture management, monitoring of pollution and other contaminants, livestock and pests, and transformation processes of bioresources.
The workshop will serve as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, featuring discussions from fields including engineering, agricultural, environmental, and computer science. Attendees will engage in debates on the latest advances and challenges, and dedicated sessions will promote open discussions on the future directions of intelligent systems to address global environmental and agricultural challenges.
The Workshop will be co-located with the 21st International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE2025) at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD, Darmstadt, Germany, 23 – 26 June 2025
