Riccardo Bertoglio pursued a Master's degree in Computer Science and Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 2019. He is currently a PhD student in Data Analysis and Decision Sciences. His research interest is the application of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in agriculture. The research project is motivated by the 70% increase in food demand that must be achieved by 2050 to satisfy a population of 9.1 billion people. He aims to make a substantial contribution to the introduction of digital technologies in agriculture in a process called Agriculture 4.0. The idea is to apply the methods of Industry 4.0 in the agricultural field, thus moving from the Internet of Things to the Internet of Plants. Each cultivated plant will be associated with its digital counterpart and linked to other plants via the cloud. Therefore, the farmer will have a complete view of the health status of the crops, thus opening the possibility of advancing localized treatments. Big Data analysis algorithms will be used in collaboration with agronomic models to provide a Decision Support System. In this way, farmers will act more based on data and less based on their personal beliefs. Crops will be fully automated by intelligent machines that will perform all operations, from sowing to harvesting, leading to more efficient use of resources (such as water and nutrients), higher yields, and reduction of contamination. To achieve this goal, Riccardo is working to establish an interdisciplinary team that brings together engineers, economists, agronomists, geneticists, and biologists. Furthermore, the team is creating a research network establishing partnerships with universities and companies.
