Welcome Message

 

Dear International Precision Agriculture and Remote Sensing Community:

It is a pleasure to announce the 2010 Sino-U.S. International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture to be held at the USDA-ARS Southern Plains Agricultural Research Center (SPARC), College Station, Texas, USA from December 1-8, 2010.

We welcome you to this Sino-US Workshop at College Station, where the USDA-ARS SPARC and Texas A&M University are located. Texas A&M University is the seventh-largest university with one of the largest main campuses in the U.S., and is also the site of the George Bush Presidential Library.

Traditional agriculture is advancing to modern and intelligent agriculture with the development of science and technology and social progress. Information technology plays a key role in this conversion, dealing with less controllability and stability because of regionality, seasonality and variability. Precision agriculture as a trend featured with digital, visual, networked and intelligent agriculture is growing, as is the precision agricultural community across the world.

The 2010 Sino-U.S. International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture is envisaged to be a scholarly and professional symposium, with about 60 attendees from China and the U.S. Over a dozen experts and professors will be invited to present as key speakers. This workshop will provide a forum for presentations on the current state of intelligent equipment for precision agriculture research and applications, application of remote sensing and information technologies in agriculture. The conference will facilitate interactions among research scientists, producers, technology company representatives, equipment manufacturers, input dealers, agronomic consultants, software developers, educators, and government personnel.

During the workshop, an evening session will be held to seek for the possibility of building bilateral ties for future exchange and cooperation between Chinese and U.S. scientists and institutions.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Sino-U.S. workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Remote Sensing and Measurement Technology in College Station, Texas, USA.

 

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Yubin Lan, Agricultural Engineer, USDA-ARS-SPARC-APMRU

Chair of the 2010 Sino-US International Workshop on Intelligent Equipment for Precision Agriculture and Airborne Remote Sensing and Measurement for Agriculture
