Joint research should advance the field(s) of artificial intelligence, robotics, sensing, and/or communications with applications to agriculture, particularly those that empower farmers to enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience. Please join representatives from NSF, CSIRO, ICAR and JST for an informational webinar and Q&A to learn more about AI-ENGAGE. The webinar will be recorded.
