Farming / AgriTech Photonics

08 June 2026 10:00 - 11:30

Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Farming / Agritech Photonics, exploring how photonics is transforming agriculture and food production through more precise, data-driven, and sustainable farming practices. As global demand for food security and resource efficiency increases, optical sensing, spectroscopy, imaging, automation, and AI are enabling improved management of crops, livestock, soil health, and environmental conditions.

This session will bring together agricultural stakeholders, technology providers, and photonics companies to discuss the deployment of optical technologies across precision agriculture, controlled-environment farming, and large-scale food production systems. Attendees will gain insights into hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, soil and crop spectroscopy, livestock monitoring, autonomous agricultural machinery, irrigation and nutrient sensing, AI-enabled agricultural analytics, and the real-world challenges of ruggedization and field deployment in modern agritech systems.
