Presentation
Since the early 1990s, I have consistently worked with research, external collaboration, and activities in the field of precision agriculture, while also focusing on methods to translate research into practical applications. I have initiated or been actively involved in the development of several decision support systems used in Sweden and internationally, including CropSAT (www.cropsat.com; a satellite image-based system for precision fertilization) and Markdata (www.markdata.se; a Swedish system based on digital soil maps of arable land in Sweden for precision soil management). I represent Sweden in the International Society for Precision Agriculture (ISPA) and serve on the board of the European Conference for Precision Agriculture (ECPA).
