Read the Fine Print: Who Owns and Controls Farm Data?
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, data derived from farms might be more valuable than the growers of the crop produce. That’s because farmers can make money from their data when companies use it for other purposes, says a University of Florida scientist.
UF/IFAS Scientists Offer Safety Tips for Potential Dangers of Drone Use
Some people seem to view drones as toys, but they can be dangerous. In fact, about 1,000 people per year are injured from using drones incorrectly. To address the potential peril, two University of Florida scientists are offering ways to keep people from getting hurt while using drones.
Seven UF Researchers Named 2020 AAAS Fellows

AI Helps Detect Powdery Mildew Early So Growers Can Manage Disease in Squash
Plant detectives and engineers from the University of Florida are using artificial intelligence to find a disease early so growers who produce summer squash can keep it under control. Early detection gives farmers a fighting chance at a better crop. Summer and winter squash are grown commercially throughout the state, particularly in the southeast and […]
Recycle Phosphorus Before It Goes Into Public Waters
Recycle phosphorus while it’s still on the farm, and you can help prevent the nutrient from flowing downstream — where it could pollute water bodies — says a University of Florida scientist. Reusing phosphorus using on-farm ponds can cost the state less than $40 per kilogram compared to $355 to $909 to treat the phosphorus […]
