Convergence Accelerator Workshop: Digital and Precision Agriculture

该研讨会旨在开发和确定将改善数字和精准农业的趋同研究领域。该研讨会将汇集来自不同学科的学者，包括人文科学，经济学，遗传学，计算机科学，量子计算，通信和社会科学。来自美国食品行业其他机构和实体的合作伙伴也将参加研讨会。本次研讨会的成果包括一份报告，将有助于确定潜在的可交付成果和趋同研究领域，通过确保美国食物链的弹性来造福社会。研讨会将综合主要的趋同研究问题，让来自不同角度的与会者参与制定最适合于确定实现可提高农业生产力的交付成果和原型的途径的方法。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop seeks to develop and identify convergent research areas that will improve digital and precision agriculture. The workshop will bring together academics from a diversity of disciplines including humanities, economics, genetics, computer science, quantum computing, communication, and social science. Partners from other agencies and entities from across the US food industry will also be participating in the workshop. The outcomes of this workshop including a report will assist in identifying potential deliverables and areas of convergent research that will benefit society by ensuring resiliency of the U.S. food chain. The workshop will incorporate the synthesis of key convergence research questions, engagement of participants from a diversity of perspectives to develop approaches that are best suited in identifying a pathway to deliverables and prototypes that will enhance agricultural productivity. A report that summarizes the results of the workshop will be presented and used to identify agricultural practices that take advantage of recent advances in digital precision agriculture.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
