Researchers are developing digital corn twins to simulate “what-if” scenarios for future crops.
Researchers are using AI to change agricultural research, and the results may reach your plate. Bedrich Benes, professor and associate head of computer science at Purdue University, is working with a team of researchers, including James Schnable from the University of Nebraska and Baskar Ganapathysubramanian from Iowa State University on a three-year project sponsored by $2M from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop computer models of crops that will allow for the exploration of possible scenarios and the discovery of genes that control plant shape and function, which can lead to better crops that will be more efficient in the current climate and adapt to possibly changing climate.
