When
In the face of disruptive environmental and economic change, data and artificial intelligence may offer the best hope for resilience in agriculture, farming, ranching, and water use amid a drying climate.
The Institute for Computation and Data-Enabled Insight invites students, faculty and staff to join University of Arizona researchers, extension specialists and colleagues from across campus for a panel discussion and Q&A session on the benefits, challenges and ideas associated with the use of data and technology in agriculture. Light refreshments will be served.
