How drones and artificial intelligence are being used in the plant breeding sector
The Miscanthus AI project (a research partnership between Aberystwyth, Lincoln and Southampton universities) aims to assess whether artificial intelligence can help in plant breeding. This ranges from simply automatically measuring crops in the field to mimicking the decisions of a...

What is Miscanthus AI?
Aberystwyth University, the University of Lincoln and the University of Southampton have linked up to work on a project together called Miscanthus AI. The aims of the project are to:
Use machine learning models...
Why is Miscanthus used for biomass?
Using biomass as a source of energy contributes towards reaching net zero. Fossil fuels are a one-way street in terms of carbon production. They release carbon into the atmosphere without absorbing any. They also take millions of years to form...
