On December 1 and 2, 2025, the Bioresources Unit of the AIT Center for Health and Bioresources will host the international conference "DigAgro 2025 – Digitalization in Agroecology and Crop Production" in Tulln an der Donau, Austria.
Digital Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture
Climate change, food security, and sustainable resource management pose significant global challenges to agriculture. Digital technologies offer innovative solutions that will be discussed at the DigAgro 2025 conference by international experts from academia, industry, and practice. Key topics of the two-day conference include smart farming technologies, digital tools for plant phenotyping, digital innovations in agroecology, as well as multi-omics and microbiome modeling. Both hardware and software solutions will be addressed, closely integrating biological aspects such as plant and soil health with these innovative technologies. A particular highlight will be the roundtable discussion titled "Promises and Challenges using AI in Agriculture."
Digital Research Meets Agricultural Reality
The conference provides an up-to-date overview of core research topics and technological advancements related to digitalization in crop production. DigAgro 2025 thus sets essential impulses for the future-oriented development of agricultural systems. Discussions will include new scientific findings and practical applications, highlighting how digitalization can contribute to addressing agricultural challenges. Angela Sessitsch, Head of the conference and expert at AIT, emphasizes: "The DigAgro 2025 conference offers a platform specifically designed to link digital technologies with current challenges in sustainable agriculture across various disciplines. It is particularly important to us to provide national and international stakeholders with an opportunity for networking."
