National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Science participates in the Africa Food Manufacturing Component Exhibition and Conference and "ProPak MENA" 2024.
The National Authority for
Remote Sensing and Space Science, headed by
Dr. Islam Abu Al-Magd,
participated in the African Exhibition and Conference of Food Manufacturing
Components "ProPaK MENA" 2024, which was set up at the Egypt
International Exhibition Centre under the sponsorship of
Dr. Ayman Ashour, Minister of
Higher Education and Scientific Research.
Dr. Abdel Aziz Bilal, Head of
the Agricultural Applications Division, presented a lecture entitled "The
possibility of using artificial intelligence to track the growth of crops under
Egyptian circumstances," highlighting the use of modern techniques such as
artificial intelligence, remote sensing, large data and the Internet of things
to track the growth and intelligent management of crops from agriculture to
post-harvest, where artificial intelligence plays a multifaceted role in
improving the Egyptian agricultural sector, where analysis of large data can be
used to improve crop productivity.
Dr. Islam Abu Al-Magd
stressed that the Egyptian State was making great efforts to achieve digital
transformation in all sectors in order to expand digital transformation,
electronic services, artificial intelligence and modern technology in
agriculture, including the development of monitoring, accounting and
intelligent management of crops grown using artificial intelligence techniques.
They noted that the National Council of Artificial Intelligence had been
established with a view to applying such techniques in all fields; to
strengthen human technical capabilities and to accelerate the digital
transformation of the Egyptian economy.
He referred to the role of
the Authority in moving towards food security through horizontal and vertical
agricultural expansion through the use of modern technologies, which
represented the fourth agricultural revolution in the agricultural sector, such
as the use of artificial intelligence, remote sensing, smart agriculture and
large data, noting that this led to increased production and reduced production
costs, thereby increasing national income from the agricultural sector and
preserving the environment.
The use of automated learning
techniques to monitor and track crop growth and smart management provided the
information required for decision makers and worked towards Egypt's food
security.
It should be noted that the
exhibition and the conference are concerned with the mobilization, packaging
and treatment of the food and beverage supply chain in Africa, and the Remote
Sensing and Space Science Agency has reviewed its expertise in artificial
intelligence, remote sensing, the Internet and GIS applications.
