Is farming technology innovation locus dependent? Making of an agricultural F...
Innovation has multiple targets – products, production processes, marketing, stakeholders’ organizations, etc. – whose nature depends upon the socio-technical framework that orients the match between inventions and market. Amid the wealth of options to facilitate innovation, fablabs are a specific example of the digitalisation era. Originally, a fablab is “the educational outreach component of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms” whose identity is defined by a charter that connects local labs to the global network. Fablabs’ goal is to provide a stimulus for local entrepreneurship as well as for learning and innovation by providing access to tools for digital fabrication. This paper aims at understanding the role of fablabs and other third places in the specific context of farming technology innovation. To this end, we propose a genetic-like analysis (i.e. genotype x environment x management practices), by addressing the historical identity and traits of FTI actors, the description of the main characteristics and dynamics of the place where they are based and the innovation governance put in practice to enhance their interactions. The approach was applied at two levels: first, the main actors of the farming technology innovation in Europe, ending with a bibliometric analysis of the available literature about fablabs, makerspaces and living labs, with a focus on agriculture. Then, a case study from northern France to describe the making of AgriLab, a fablab dedicated to open innovation towards sustainable agriculture, spanning from equipment to digital tools. AgriLab is based in Beauvais (Hauts-de-France region), together with several other local and international actors of farming technology innovation. In conclusion, we question the role of third places and AgriLab as catalysts for the emergence of relevant farming technology innovations considering the influence from the local and wider context.

An overview of weeding by robots – focus on European solutions
This presentation addressed an overview of the European context, mowing towards data-intensive farming, driven by the agfood sector. It is an invited presentation in the framework of a meeting coordinated by Matthew Cutulle (Clemson University) for a Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) planning grant about Robotic Weed Control in Specialty Crops. The meeting was organized as a side event during the Southeast Regional Fruit and Vegetable Conference. The presentation provides an overview of European trends on the topic, with a focus on the French institutional perspective aiming at the support and development of agricultural robotics to face the lack of labour and the willingness to phase out glyphosate. In this context, the RobAgri association was presented. The last part lists some sources of information about agricultural robotics, with a list of European sources of information on agricultural robotics and automation. The presentation ends with a list of robot examples that were compared from the agronomic point of view.
Distribution of precision agriculture technologies: a first survey of French ...
Precision agriculture technologies (PAT) are very diversified. The proliferation of precision agriculture products and services, as well as of their providers can confuse farmers. In addition, the lack of agronomic references for these technologies is slowing their adoption. The organization and development of the distribution network can help the providers of PAT to support farmers and other end customers. This study describes how PAT are being addressed by ordinary dealers of agricultural machinery and equipment. We aimed at identifying the main trends in the distribution of PAT among dealers, as well as the obstacles and the expected added value of these technologies for their business. We focused on metropolitan France as the first European country for agricultural production and highly committed to the development of agtech. A series of semi-direct interviews was realized on a sample covering the main tractor manufacturers on the national territory, the involvement of the dealer manager in the national trade union (i.e., SEDIMA) and already offering PAT. The interview consisted of four parts: (i) current offer by the dealership and level of PAT use/equipment by customers; (ii) 5-years strategy of the dealership about these technologies; (iii) changes in personnel (recruitment, training, etc.) and organization related to these new products/services; (iv) identification of expected added value and obstacles. The notes taken during the phone interviews were coded into themes and topics to ensure harmonization and comparability, then analyzed to provide summary statistics, and to identify main trends and recommendations about the distribution of PAT.

Crop diversification has many benefits both at the cropping system and the food system levels and has been addressed in agricultural research (Hufnagel et al., 2020). Landscape design and management in agricultural regions can support crop diversification by building bridges with scientific domains like ecology and geography (Benoit et al., 2012). Though, little is known on how the research community has addressed the crop diversification within a landscape perspective. In this paper we investigated a bibliographic corpus retrieved from the Scopus database papers coupling crop diversification and landscape (in title, abstract and keywords), retrieving 461 papers for the period 1990 to 2020. The corpus was analysed using the CorText platform (e.g., Ruiz-Martinez et al., 2015). First, natural language processing was used to extract multi-terms from title, abstract and keywords. Then, we mined the temporal dynamics and co-occurrence of the 100 most frequent terms. Our findings showed that species richness emerges as the main topic in this corpus, and that natural enemies, crop types and natural control increased in importance. In the last years, genetic diversity, climate change and agricultural production also gained attention. On the contrary, land use and some of the terms related to diversity (landscape, plant and farmland) were marginal or decreasing. By analysing the terms co-occurrence on the three decades, we observed that the papers addressing crop varieties and agroforestry system split into two streams: one about agricultural production in relation to climate change and the other about farm size and land use. Instead, the functional diversity and field margin disappeared from the recent literature. Land use patterns and landscape diversity converged mainly on studies about biological pest control. Altogether, the corpus highlighted that the spatial configuration lost in importance when addressing crop diversification. In addition, the species diversity gained in attention finally catching a large part of the literature in the corpus. From a landscape approach perspective, we might point out the apparent lack of a major topic: the involvement of local community and stakeholders. Our simple and rapid text mining approach yielded early evidence of knowledge gaps about the landscape level in crop diversification literature. The expected contribution of approaching the crop diversification at the landscape level would be to provide a relevant framework for the characterisation of the baseline system to be diversified. In particular, the landscape agronomy perspective stressed the need to define the scale and target area for crop diversification consistently with (natural and cultivated) species diversity embedded in a local socio-technical system.

Monte Pisano Venti anni di esperienze Rizzo Gennai Schott 2020
Contributo alla tutela del paesaggio agrario terrazzato toscano: bilancio di venti anni di esperienze di studio della fragilità delle sistemazioni idraulico-agrarie del Monte Pisano.
Davide Rizzo, agronomo, e Sabine C. Gennai-Schott, geografa
Il Monte Pisano si trova nella Toscana occidentale, lungo la costa tirrenica, oggi caratterizzato da oliveti terrazzati nella fascia pedecollinare, con pinete, residui castagneti e bosco misto nella fascia più alta. L'olivicoltura in questo ambiente terrazzato ad alta intensità di manodopera non è più praticabile senza un approccio multifunzionale ed è oggi gestita da alcuni agricoltori professionisti e molti olivicoltori hobbisti/amatoriali. Il grande incendio del settembre 2018 fece conoscere quest’area a livello nazionale. In realtà da lunghissima data il Monte Pisano è oggetto di studi, in particolare dell’Università di Pisa per gli aspetti naturalistici, litologici e culturali. Da un paio di decenni i ricercatori del Land Lab della Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna si sono focalizzati sugli aspetti socio-tecnici. A inizio anni 2000 Mariassunta Galli iniziò con uno studio sulle pratiche agricole sostenibili contestualizzate alla gestione dei territori e alle politiche di sviluppo rurali, che fece emergere il bisogno di conoscenze sul sistema terrazzato per sostenere gestione di recupero post-incendio. La cartografia dettagliata dei terrazzamenti di tre dei sette comuni dell’area fu rinforzata dalla produzione di un manuale di gestione degli elementi terrazzati e alcune proposte di recupero della sentieristica. Infine, in anni più recenti il quadro fu completato dallo studio dei profili degli olivicoltori hobbisti, in particolare delle loro motivazioni e vincoli. Nel loro insieme i risultati di questi studi hanno permesso l’iscrizione del Monte Pisano come uno dei casi di riferimento nei due recenti incontri dell’alleanza mondiale dei paesaggi terrazzati (ITLA 2016 e 2019). Inoltre, la comunità locale ha fatto propri i risultati attivando uno sportello di agroecologia, punto di coordinamento e diffusione dei vari saperi. Tra le altre iniziative si segnala la fondazione di una scuola di potatura dell’olivo il cui obiettivo è divulgare un approccio semplificato alla potatura dell’olivo a fini produttivi. In conclusione, il bilancio di vent’anni di studio della fragilità del Monte Pisano mostrano che si tratta di un paesaggio terrazzato su cui si stratificano molteplici conoscenze: sociologiche, economiche, naturalistiche, agronomiche, formalizzate nel tempo da vari attori. Nel tempo è emersa con evidenza la centralità dell’implicazione attiva dei gestori reali degli oliveti per dare seguito efficace alle conoscenze teoriche. Il vero contributo alla tutela del paesaggio terrazzato - del Monte Pisano, così come di altre aree periurbane quali il biodistretto del Montalbano - risulta cioè dalla coniugazione di tecnica e pratica in una prospettiva di sistema socio-tecnico.

Trends in Agricultural Robots. A Comparative Agronomic Grid Based on a French...
Equipment innovation is one of the crucial levers for the improvement of economic, societal and environmental performances of agriculture. In particular, precision farming is expected to be among the 10 technologies that could change our lives. Amid the different technologies enabling a greater precision of agriculture, robotics and sensors could radically change the way of farming. Automatic machines collecting and managing data, eventually feeding a bigdata approach, could provide new tools for fine-tuning farmers’ decision making and help them in mastering the environmental footprint of agriculture. Nevertheless, what is a robot from the agricultural point of view? What are the solutions under development or on the market? How to compare them? The disruptive transformation of the agricultural machinery market requires the definition of new landmarks, especially for agronomists who are facing new opportunities and technologies. We present here the early results of a comparative overview realized by a group of students in agronomy and specializing in agricultural equipment and new technologies at UniLaSalle. The five students were asked to provide figures and a summary of the agricultural robots available in France, either on the market or upcoming. Firstly, they defined what a “robot” is. They referred to Coiffet (2007) who considers “robot” a machine for the human assistance executing a work or a physical task, either as a tool handled during the execution of the task or capable to perform the work without human intervention. Accordingly, the database includes only agricultural machines fulfilling at least two out of the three following criteria: the capability to execute a task, the operational flexibility, the self-adaptability to the working environment. Three robot classes were identified (decision, assistance or substitution) further classified in two agricultural domains and related operational subdomains: crop production (including permanent crops, horticulture, field crop and other crops) and breeding (including cattle, poultry, and pig). Out of a 4 months work, the database finally contains 98 robots from 70 enterprises, with full specifications retrieved from more than 300 websites and 7 French agricultural journals, as well as through the participation to some specialized fora. For comparison, the “Agricultural Robots” report by Tractica highlighted 149 profiles over a comparable time period. Drawing upon a solid background in agronomy, the students analysed the farming operation performed by the listed robots, with a focus on the vehicle-soil interface. Altogether, the design and development of this database can provide agronomists with an up-to-date comparative grid of the existing and upcoming agricultural robots. Identifying clear landmarks in the high pace robot landscape will enhance the agronomic evaluation and enable a clearer understanding of robot relevance for farmers.
A robot from the scratch in 5 months. How agronomy students could master agri...
Education and training are identified as key elements to support precision agriculture in Europe and operationalize the transition towards sustainable production systems. In particular, the French agricultural machinery sector is aware that leveraging precision agriculture requires a closer consideration of the farmers’ needs. Hence, educational programs are expected to bridge the gap between agriculture and machinery design and innovation. In this paper we will discuss the learning process that led a group of students in agronomy at mastering robotics and how this could help improving educational programs on agricultural equipment. The context was a competition organized by a French applied agricultural research organization that challenged students to build a robot for the mechanical weeding of sugar beet. The teachers adopted a design thinking approach, supporting the students only if needed, rather promoting the students’ appropriation of the subject. The farming experience of the students allowed them to choose the simplest sensor, which used the plants as physical boundaries of the robot navigation corridor. This simple and robust solution exploited the agronomic characteristics of the sugar beet that is sown on straight lines and it is not damaged by physical contact. Furthermore, this choice was suited for working in field conditions and easily understandable by the practitioners. In conclusion, we discuss the lessons learned about the environmental and educational conditions that allowed this experience and that could help agricultural students and farmers at mastering new technologies and equipment innovation.
Farmer-oriented innovation: outcomes from a first bootcamp
An interdisciplinary team held a bootcamp to develop farmer-oriented innovation projects using open-source technologies like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Four projects were developed by farmers and students to monitor various agricultural data through IoT sensors and provide alerts or analyses to farmers. The bootcamp achieved its goals of enabling participants to innovate using affordable open-source tools and providing a model for future collaboration between farmers, students, and experts to develop precision agriculture solutions.

Fort du constat de la proximité entre les équipementiers, les agriculteurs et en établissement d’enseignement supérieur, c’est une évidence de travailler sur les AENT à UniLasalle, d’autant plus que à niveau des collectivités territoriale (agglomération du Beauvaisis et région Hauts-de-France) il y a une volonté de travailler sur les innovations dans ce secteur et de l’afficher comme spécificité du territoire.
De part de la culture de UniLaSalle, l’approche prise dans le cadre de la Chaire Agro-Machinisme et Nouvelles Technologies est de travailler ensemble et par association dans les innovations, en prenant comme acteurs la communauté des constructeurs, des agriculteurs avec les étudiants et les enseignants. Le poster développe cette approche : venez découvrir nos activités.

Mapping fragility hotspots of a Mediterranean terraced system
Mapping the fragility hotspots of a Mediterranean terraced system: a landscape agronomy approach based on GIS multi-criteria analysis. Rizzo D, Gennai-Schott S, Sabbatini T, Bonari E | #ITLA2016
The current management of Mediterranean terraced landscapes rises questions that go beyond the agricultural dynamics. Numerous studies addressed so far the terraced landscape management, encompassing various geographic locations and several disciplinary or integrative approaches. Yet, the observable current dynamics suggest instead that the major challenge for terraced landscape conservation is to capitalize past knowledge to provide a reliable support for the new land managers. Indeed, terraced landscapes have sometimes shifted toward neo-rurality and periurbanity, and farming is pursued just as part-time or hobby activity. Whereas the abandonment of the entire farming system implies the basic problem to conserve both soil and landscape cultural features, new management styles may imply a partial farming abandonment (i.e., just of the terrace management). Altogether, this claims for new landscape strategies to preserve the character of these traditional systems. Accordingly, we carried out a landscape agronomy assessment to support the management of a terraced system. This article aims to discuss a spatially explicit method combining natural and anthropic landscape features related the expected terrace degradation dynamics (i.e., fragility). Of note, we targeted the formalization of local expert knowledge as fundamental complement to existing and available maps. The method is a GIS based multi-criteria analysis (MCA) designed and implemented on the Monte Pisano (62 km², Tuscany, ITA) as illustrative of Mediterranean terraced landscapes. Schematically a MCA method is composed by three cognitive processes: the characterization of the decision-making situation, the modeling of the preferences, and the formulation of final recommendations. In our case-study these were articulated in a 6-steps method drawn upon the structure proposed by Malczewski (1999, GIS and multicriteria decision analysis. Wiley). First there was the definition of decision problem (1), then divided into operational objectives and associated to a set of criteria (2). The GIS environment added the need to identify the relevant spatial scale (3). These bases supported the selection and the elaboration of attributes (4), then aggregated according to the preferences expressed by the decision maker(s) (5). In this way, the terraced landscape was delimited into a set of ranked spatial alternatives responding to the initial decision problem. Finally, the assessment of the result reliability with field validation allowed formulating the final recommendations (6). The main results were the maps of local terraced landscape structural and overall fragility, classed into four levels ranging from weak to strong, i.e. where intensive management is required to mitigate/avoid expected degradation.
Participatory scenario building
Farmers manage large areas of landscapes that are altogether designed by heterogeneous actors. Conflicts may eventually arise in complex regions like the Mediterranean where the urban and agricultural actors’ spaces for action easily overlap and concur for the use and management of soil and water. A territorial or landscape perspective is therefore required to inform the design of land management systems capable to meet the place-based development goals. A greater involvement of agronomy in the landscape arena would help to design landscape management policies that are better informed of farming systems. Our aim is to present a territorial approach that supported a prospective analysis for the design of shared land management actions using the territory game.

Agricoltura, risorse e paesaggio: come supportare il buon governo del territo...
Finalmente anche nel nostro Paese e, non senza una punta di orgoglio in Toscana in particolare, al centro del buon governo del territorio è stato messo il paesaggio. E’ stato infatti da noi approvato il Piano di Indirizzo Territoriale con valenza di Piano Paesaggistico e molti Comuni hanno già attivato, a dire il vero con impegno diverso, il proprio percorso per adeguare ad esso i propri strumenti urbanistici. C’è ora da definire cosa e come fare per conservare l’equilibrio della natura e in che maniera salvaguardare la memoria della nostra storia e delle nostre città. Questo implica di dover passare dalla logica del vincolo alla logica del piano e dunque non limitarsi ad un passivo controllo dei singoli beni o dei relativi progetti ma individuare, insieme alle eventuali prescrizioni, anche delle linee di indirizzo e degli obiettivi in chiave propositiva e gestionale. Questa presentazione per il convegno "Life 2020 - Il vecchio e il nuovo nel buon governo del territorio" introduce un punto di vista agronomico avvalendosi di approcci ed esempi italiani e internazionali.

Opportunities for scaling up research on agricultural dynamics
>> PAPER http://bit.ly/FSD5_Rizzo_abstract <<
Use of crop sequences for data-mining of remotely sensed time series across multiple scales.
Several interdisciplinary perspectives (e.g., landscape agronomy, land system science, ecoagriculture) urge agronomy to contextualize the characterization of agricultural activities within the land management system. This challenges the discipline to scale up the analysis of agricultural dynamics from farm to landscape levels, where conflicting choices may emerge about the management of natural resources. Shortcoming of data covering large areas, especially about farming practices and decision-making processes, is a major constraint. Nevertheless, we consider that segmenting the land according to the observed land cover sequences can eventually incorporate a relevant part of the farmers' medium-term decision-making processes, influenced for instance by climate changes or territorial conflicts related to local resources. Furthermore, focusing on land cover sequences may provide a consistent target of analysis across multiple scales. Our aim is to discuss the relevance of a data-mining method to handle remotely sensed data and analyze temporal and spatial agricultural dynamics in a landscape perspective. The method, originally developed to handle large and labor-demanding survey datasets, is based on the stochastic segmentation with Hidden Markov Models. It firstly identifies temporal regularities of the crop/grassland sequences, then use them to segment into homogeneous patches the study area (potentially ranging from farmland to region). Starting from a case study carried out on a 12-year time series of satellite images for the Yar watershed (Brittany, France) we address the potential contribution of this kind of approach to improve the dynamic analysis of farming systems.

L’analisi agronomico-territoriale nella stima della fragilità agro-ambientale...
Riferirsi all’agronomia aggettivandola come “territoriale” intende confrontarsi con la sfida posta alla disciplina a sviluppare metodologie e conoscenze capaci di integrare le dinamiche della produzione con i processi decisionali derivanti dall’interazione di e con attori agricoli ed extra-agricoli. Un orientamento preciso è dato in tal senso dal crescente interesse dell’opinione pubblica alla tutela dei paesaggi agroforestali. Il focus di questo lavoro è stata la caratterizzazione delle “FRAGILITÀ” di un paesaggio, intesa come zonazione di un paesaggio agrario in funzione delle priorità di intervento per la conservazione.
Il metodo di stima della fragilità è stato definito tenendo conto dei tre elementi principali di un paesaggio agrario – struttura, attori e gestione – e dei metodi elaborati per valutazioni di problematiche parziali e specifiche dei sistemi terrazzati. Esso è stato sviluppato come ANALISI MULTICRITERIALE TERRITORIALE (AMT) strutturata in cinque fasi: (1) la definizione dell’obiettivo decisionale; (2) la scelta della scala spaziale di riferimento; (3) la selezione e l’elaborazione dei parametri di input; (4) la scelta e l’applicazione della “regola decisionale”; (5) l’analisi dei risultati e la valutazione della loro accuratezza. Ciascun parametro è stato valutato secondo un “INDICE DI FRAGILITÀ” che stima la distanza del valore di un dato parametro dallo stato funzionale ottimale.
La metodologia ha mostrato una pronta applicabilità e una buona affidabilità per un inquadramento fenomeno della fragilità a scala di sistema. Dal confronto con altre, rare, esperienze di caratterizzazione territoriale di sistemi terrazzati appare una sostanziale convergenza sulla scelta dei parametri.
In una prospettiva generale, il lavoro svolto apporta un contributo teorico dell’agronomia allo studio dell’evoluzione dei paesaggi agrari, con particolare riferimento alla valutazione degli effetti dei cambiamenti nelle pratiche (agricole), quale ad esempio l’abbandono. Si consideri, in conclusione che questa metodologia, sviluppata e testata per la caratterizzazione della fragilità dei sistemi terrazzati, potrebbe essere estesa sia per rispondere ad altre problematiche agro-ambientali sia per l’analisi di altri sistemi territoriali.

Background concepts of landscape and territory agronomy
Agriculture faces big challenges, such as feeding a growing population and providing an increasing panel of ecosystem services. However, concurrent changes either of the land use (e.g., urban sprawl), of the land system structure (e.g., innovative crop-livestock integration) or of the production practices (e.g., the agroecology transition of production systems) occur unevenly in space and over time. Yet, land is a limited resource and agricultural seems to have attained the peak for major productions. Hence, neither the expansion nor the intensification of current production systems could answer the expectations, also because of the deprecated trade-offs on natural resources. Altogether, the development of smarter spatial configurations of agricultural activities appears to be the most effective way to address all of these rapid and wide dynamics. Accordingly, agronomy is urged to develop a landscape perspective to improve the understanding of farming evolutions and to inform future scenarios. In this lecture, we will describe the conceptual model proposed by “landscape agronomy” and how it can help to understand interactions between farming practices, landscape patterns and natural resources. In addition, we will compare it with the “territory” concept underpinning a participatory action science that addresses the relations between different land users and managers in the design of future rural land systems. Finally, we will apply the aforementioned concepts to the comparison of some land management units to stress the role of a landscape-oriented approach to farming system design.

Monte Pisano Venti anni di esperienze Rizzo Gennai Schott 2020
Contributo alla tutela del paesaggio agrario terrazzato toscano: bilancio di venti anni di esperienze di studio della fragilità delle sistemazioni idraulico-agrarie del Monte Pisano.
Davide Rizzo, agronomo, e Sabine C. Gennai-Schott, geografa
Il Monte Pisano si trova nella Toscana occidentale, lungo la costa tirrenica, oggi caratterizzato da oliveti terrazzati nella fascia pedecollinare, con pinete, residui castagneti e bosco misto nella fascia più alta. L'olivicoltura in questo ambiente terrazzato ad alta intensità di manodopera non è più praticabile senza un approccio multifunzionale ed è oggi gestita da alcuni agricoltori professionisti e molti olivicoltori hobbisti/amatoriali. Il grande incendio del settembre 2018 fece conoscere quest’area a livello nazionale. In realtà da lunghissima data il Monte Pisano è oggetto di studi, in particolare dell’Università di Pisa per gli aspetti naturalistici, litologici e culturali. Da un paio di decenni i ricercatori del Land Lab della Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna si sono focalizzati sugli aspetti socio-tecnici. A inizio anni 2000 Mariassunta Galli iniziò con uno studio sulle pratiche agricole sostenibili contestualizzate alla gestione dei territori e alle politiche di sviluppo rurali, che fece emergere il bisogno di conoscenze sul sistema terrazzato per sostenere gestione di recupero post-incendio. La cartografia dettagliata dei terrazzamenti di tre dei sette comuni dell’area fu rinforzata dalla produzione di un manuale di gestione degli elementi terrazzati e alcune proposte di recupero della sentieristica. Infine, in anni più recenti il quadro fu completato dallo studio dei profili degli olivicoltori hobbisti, in particolare delle loro motivazioni e vincoli. Nel loro insieme i risultati di questi studi hanno permesso l’iscrizione del Monte Pisano come uno dei casi di riferimento nei due recenti incontri dell’alleanza mondiale dei paesaggi terrazzati (ITLA 2016 e 2019). Inoltre, la comunità locale ha fatto propri i risultati attivando uno sportello di agroecologia, punto di coordinamento e diffusione dei vari saperi. Tra le altre iniziative si segnala la fondazione di una scuola di potatura dell’olivo il cui obiettivo è divulgare un approccio semplificato alla potatura dell’olivo a fini produttivi. In conclusione, il bilancio di vent’anni di studio della fragilità del Monte Pisano mostrano che si tratta di un paesaggio terrazzato su cui si stratificano molteplici conoscenze: sociologiche, economiche, naturalistiche, agronomiche, formalizzate nel tempo da vari attori. Nel tempo è emersa con evidenza la centralità dell’implicazione attiva dei gestori reali degli oliveti per dare seguito efficace alle conoscenze teoriche. Il vero contributo alla tutela del paesaggio terrazzato - del Monte Pisano, così come di altre aree periurbane quali il biodistretto del Montalbano - risulta cioè dalla coniugazione di tecnica e pratica in una prospettiva di sistema socio-tecnico.

Trends in Agricultural Robots. A Comparative Agronomic Grid Based on a French...
Equipment innovation is one of the crucial levers for the improvement of economic, societal and environmental performances of agriculture. In particular, precision farming is expected to be among the 10 technologies that could change our lives. Amid the different technologies enabling a greater precision of agriculture, robotics and sensors could radically change the way of farming. Automatic machines collecting and managing data, eventually feeding a bigdata approach, could provide new tools for fine-tuning farmers’ decision making and help them in mastering the environmental footprint of agriculture. Nevertheless, what is a robot from the agricultural point of view? What are the solutions under development or on the market? How to compare them? The disruptive transformation of the agricultural machinery market requires the definition of new landmarks, especially for agronomists who are facing new opportunities and technologies. We present here the early results of a comparative overview realized by a group of students in agronomy and specializing in agricultural equipment and new technologies at UniLaSalle. The five students were asked to provide figures and a summary of the agricultural robots available in France, either on the market or upcoming. Firstly, they defined what a “robot” is. They referred to Coiffet (2007) who considers “robot” a machine for the human assistance executing a work or a physical task, either as a tool handled during the execution of the task or capable to perform the work without human intervention. Accordingly, the database includes only agricultural machines fulfilling at least two out of the three following criteria: the capability to execute a task, the operational flexibility, the self-adaptability to the working environment. Three robot classes were identified (decision, assistance or substitution) further classified in two agricultural domains and related operational subdomains: crop production (including permanent crops, horticulture, field crop and other crops) and breeding (including cattle, poultry, and pig). Out of a 4 months work, the database finally contains 98 robots from 70 enterprises, with full specifications retrieved from more than 300 websites and 7 French agricultural journals, as well as through the participation to some specialized fora. For comparison, the “Agricultural Robots” report by Tractica highlighted 149 profiles over a comparable time period. Drawing upon a solid background in agronomy, the students analysed the farming operation performed by the listed robots, with a focus on the vehicle-soil interface. Altogether, the design and development of this database can provide agronomists with an up-to-date comparative grid of the existing and upcoming agricultural robots. Identifying clear landmarks in the high pace robot landscape will enhance the agronomic evaluation and enable a clearer understanding of robot relevance for farmers.
A robot from the scratch in 5 months. How agronomy students could master agri...
Education and training are identified as key elements to support precision agriculture in Europe and operationalize the transition towards sustainable production systems. In particular, the French agricultural machinery sector is aware that leveraging precision agriculture requires a closer consideration of the farmers’ needs. Hence, educational programs are expected to bridge the gap between agriculture and machinery design and innovation. In this paper we will discuss the learning process that led a group of students in agronomy at mastering robotics and how this could help improving educational programs on agricultural equipment. The context was a competition organized by a French applied agricultural research organization that challenged students to build a robot for the mechanical weeding of sugar beet. The teachers adopted a design thinking approach, supporting the students only if needed, rather promoting the students’ appropriation of the subject. The farming experience of the students allowed them to choose the simplest sensor, which used the plants as physical boundaries of the robot navigation corridor. This simple and robust solution exploited the agronomic characteristics of the sugar beet that is sown on straight lines and it is not damaged by physical contact. Furthermore, this choice was suited for working in field conditions and easily understandable by the practitioners. In conclusion, we discuss the lessons learned about the environmental and educational conditions that allowed this experience and that could help agricultural students and farmers at mastering new technologies and equipment innovation.
Farmer-oriented innovation: outcomes from a first bootcamp
An interdisciplinary team held a bootcamp to develop farmer-oriented innovation projects using open-source technologies like Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Four projects were developed by farmers and students to monitor various agricultural data through IoT sensors and provide alerts or analyses to farmers. The bootcamp achieved its goals of enabling participants to innovate using affordable open-source tools and providing a model for future collaboration between farmers, students, and experts to develop precision agriculture solutions.

Mapping fragility hotspots of a Mediterranean terraced system
Mapping the fragility hotspots of a Mediterranean terraced system: a landscape agronomy approach based on GIS multi-criteria analysis. Rizzo D, Gennai-Schott S, Sabbatini T, Bonari E | #ITLA2016
The current management of Mediterranean terraced landscapes rises questions that go beyond the agricultural dynamics. Numerous studies addressed so far the terraced landscape management, encompassing various geographic locations and several disciplinary or integrative approaches. Yet, the observable current dynamics suggest instead that the major challenge for terraced landscape conservation is to capitalize past knowledge to provide a reliable support for the new land managers. Indeed, terraced landscapes have sometimes shifted toward neo-rurality and periurbanity, and farming is pursued just as part-time or hobby activity. Whereas the abandonment of the entire farming system implies the basic problem to conserve both soil and landscape cultural features, new management styles may imply a partial farming abandonment (i.e., just of the terrace management). Altogether, this claims for new landscape strategies to preserve the character of these traditional systems. Accordingly, we carried out a landscape agronomy assessment to support the management of a terraced system. This article aims to discuss a spatially explicit method combining natural and anthropic landscape features related the expected terrace degradation dynamics (i.e., fragility). Of note, we targeted the formalization of local expert knowledge as fundamental complement to existing and available maps. The method is a GIS based multi-criteria analysis (MCA) designed and implemented on the Monte Pisano (62 km², Tuscany, ITA) as illustrative of Mediterranean terraced landscapes. Schematically a MCA method is composed by three cognitive processes: the characterization of the decision-making situation, the modeling of the preferences, and the formulation of final recommendations. In our case-study these were articulated in a 6-steps method drawn upon the structure proposed by Malczewski (1999, GIS and multicriteria decision analysis. Wiley). First there was the definition of decision problem (1), then divided into operational objectives and associated to a set of criteria (2). The GIS environment added the need to identify the relevant spatial scale (3). These bases supported the selection and the elaboration of attributes (4), then aggregated according to the preferences expressed by the decision maker(s) (5). In this way, the terraced landscape was delimited into a set of ranked spatial alternatives responding to the initial decision problem. Finally, the assessment of the result reliability with field validation allowed formulating the final recommendations (6). The main results were the maps of local terraced landscape structural and overall fragility, classed into four levels ranging from weak to strong, i.e. where intensive management is required to mitigate/avoid expected degradation.
Participatory scenario building
Farmers manage large areas of landscapes that are altogether designed by heterogeneous actors. Conflicts may eventually arise in complex regions like the Mediterranean where the urban and agricultural actors’ spaces for action easily overlap and concur for the use and management of soil and water. A territorial or landscape perspective is therefore required to inform the design of land management systems capable to meet the place-based development goals. A greater involvement of agronomy in the landscape arena would help to design landscape management policies that are better informed of farming systems. Our aim is to present a territorial approach that supported a prospective analysis for the design of shared land management actions using the territory game.

Agricoltura, risorse e paesaggio: come supportare il buon governo del territo...
Finalmente anche nel nostro Paese e, non senza una punta di orgoglio in Toscana in particolare, al centro del buon governo del territorio è stato messo il paesaggio. E’ stato infatti da noi approvato il Piano di Indirizzo Territoriale con valenza di Piano Paesaggistico e molti Comuni hanno già attivato, a dire il vero con impegno diverso, il proprio percorso per adeguare ad esso i propri strumenti urbanistici. C’è ora da definire cosa e come fare per conservare l’equilibrio della natura e in che maniera salvaguardare la memoria della nostra storia e delle nostre città. Questo implica di dover passare dalla logica del vincolo alla logica del piano e dunque non limitarsi ad un passivo controllo dei singoli beni o dei relativi progetti ma individuare, insieme alle eventuali prescrizioni, anche delle linee di indirizzo e degli obiettivi in chiave propositiva e gestionale. Questa presentazione per il convegno "Life 2020 - Il vecchio e il nuovo nel buon governo del territorio" introduce un punto di vista agronomico avvalendosi di approcci ed esempi italiani e internazionali.

Opportunities for scaling up research on agricultural dynamics

De l'IA comme plagiat à la rédaction d'une « charte IA » à l'université
L'IA connaît une croissance rapide et son intégration dans le domaine éducatif soulève de nombreuses questions. Aujourd'hui, nous explorerons comment les étudiants utilisent l'IA, les perceptions des enseignants à ce sujet, et les mesures possibles pour encadrer ces usages.
Constat Actuel
L'IA est de plus en plus présente dans notre quotidien, y compris dans l'éducation. Certaines universités, comme Science Po en janvier 2023, ont interdit l'utilisation de l'IA, tandis que d'autres, comme l'Université de Prague, la considèrent comme du plagiat. Cette diversité de positions souligne la nécessité urgente d'une réponse institutionnelle pour encadrer ces usages et prévenir les risques de triche et de plagiat.
Enquête Nationale
Pour mieux comprendre ces dynamiques, une enquête nationale intitulée "L'IA dans l'enseignement" a été réalisée. Les auteurs de cette enquête sont Le Sphynx (sondage) et Compilatio (fraude académique). Elle a été diffusée dans les universités de Lyon et d'Aix-Marseille entre le 21 juin et le 15 août 2023, touchant 1242 enseignants et 4443 étudiants. Les questionnaires, conçus pour étudier les usages de l'IA et les représentations de ces usages, abordaient des thèmes comme les craintes, les opportunités et l'acceptabilité.
Résultats de l'Enquête
Les résultats montrent que 55 % des étudiants utilisent l'IA de manière occasionnelle ou fréquente, contre 34 % des enseignants. Cependant, 88 % des enseignants pensent que leurs étudiants utilisent l'IA, ce qui pourrait indiquer une surestimation des usages. Les usages identifiés incluent la recherche d'informations et la rédaction de textes, bien que ces réponses ne puissent pas être cumulées dans les choix proposés.
Analyse Critique
Une analyse plus approfondie révèle que les enseignants peinent à percevoir les bénéfices de l'IA pour l'apprentissage, contrairement aux étudiants. La question de savoir si l'IA améliore les notes sans développer les compétences reste débattue. Est-ce un dopage académique ou une opportunité pour un apprentissage plus efficace ?
Acceptabilité et Éthique
L'enquête révèle que beaucoup d'étudiants jugent acceptable d'utiliser l'IA pour rédiger leurs devoirs, et même un quart des enseignants partagent cet avis. Cela pose des questions éthiques cruciales : copier-coller est-il tricher ? Utiliser l'IA sous supervision ou pour des traductions est-il acceptable ? La réponse n'est pas simple et nécessite un débat ouvert.
Propositions et Solutions
Pour encadrer ces usages, plusieurs solutions sont proposées. Plutôt que d'interdire l'IA, il est suggéré de fixer des règles pour une utilisation responsable. Des innovations pédagogiques peuvent également être explorées, comme la création de situations de concurrence professionnelle ou l'utilisation de détecteurs d'IA.
Conclusion
En conclusion, bien que l'étude présente des limites, elle souligne un besoin urgent de régulation. Une charte institutionnelle pourrait fournir un cadre pour une utilisation éthique.

Sur un exemple très concret d’audit d’éco-conception de l’outil de bilan carbone C’Bilan développé par ICDC (Caisse des dépôts et consignations) nous allons expliquer en quoi l’ACV (analyse de cycle de vie) a été déterminante pour identifier les pistes d’actions pour réduire jusqu'à 82% de l’empreinte environnementale du service.

par Claude Camus (Coach agile d'organisation @OCTO Technology) et Gilles Masy (Organizational Coach @OCTO Technology)
Les équipes infrastructure, sécurité, production, ou cloud, doivent consacrer du temps à la modernisation de leurs outils (automatisation, cloud, etc) et de leurs pratiques (DevOps, SRE, etc). Dans le même temps, elles doivent répondre à une avalanche croissante de demandes, tout en maintenant un niveau de qualité de service optimal.
Habitué des environnements développeurs, les transformations agiles négligent les particularités des équipes OPS. Lors de ce comptoir, nous vous partagerons notre proposition de valeur de l'agilité@OPS, qui embarquera vos équipes OPS en Classe Business (Agility), et leur fera dire : "nous ne reviendrons pas en arrière".
