Great to hear this about this project. Will AI weather forecasts prove accurate in West Africa and engage local users? I look forward to hearing about their progress www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...

Could the way we arrange crops boost future food security?
New work from @camplantepidem.bsky.social looks at how crop layout in landscapes can dramatically slow plant disease spread without relying on chemicals or costly interventions.

Thanks for organising such a great conference, I was really inspired by the ideas brought together across such a broad community @cam.ac.uk !

How can farmers use models to prevent wheat disease?
Watch the video from @camplantepidem.bsky.social to see how subsistence farmers across Africa & South Asia can use forecasting models to protect their crops.

Excited that my project idea was selected! AI-driven summaries of crop disease forecasts. Our team is looking forward to the journey from idea to impactful prototype with support @ai.cam.ac.uk and @cimmyt.bsky.social.

Got me thinking about system resilience, translatability and local context: this afternoon's research symposium on Safer Environments in the light of changing climate and infectious diseases, thanks to @cambridgezero.bsky.social and Cambridge Infectious Diseases for organising!
I'm looking forward to joining this showcase to present some #climate and #crop health interactions work, and discover some nearby teams with overlapping interests!
with @camplantepidem.bsky.social and @camplantsci.bsky.social
Creativity in #science, a much-overlooked skill, in a podcast with potential for inspiration. Looking forward to listening!

#LPS25 Really interesting to see how take-up of #climate resilience indicators by policy and EO teams compare, a graphic by European Space Policy Institute shown in the EO for climate services session. Looking forward to its publication in the coming weeks! @esa.int
More conferences should have walking tours! We enjoyed stretching our legs at UBC farm yesterday between great talks and posters at the international cereal rusts and powdery mildew conference @forestry.ubc.ca
Follow me to hear about research, development and operation of wheat disease forecasts as part of the group @camplantepidem.bsky.social at @camplantsci.bsky.social #PlantDisease
