Ramping Up Sustainable Crops

Charles Gentry, NIAB <charles.gentry@niab.com>

Arable crops in the countryside around Cambridge rely on soil nitrogen, but many farming practices are wasteful of this critical resource, potentially leading to other environmental risks. Your goal is to use recent advances in satellite imagery and robot/drone application to implement optimisation algorithms for the Ramp Calibration Strip method. Real data can be used in to construct realistic field simulations, but there may also be an opportunity to engage with trial tests in an experimental field north of Cambridge.
