📢We are proud to announce that A.U.G. Signals Ltd. will receive funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)’s AgriScience Program – Projects Component, an initiative under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP), to support our work in precision agriculture innovation.
This investment will directly support the advancement of AUG’s crop health assessment and crop yield prediction technologies, helping strengthen the resilience of Canadian agriculture in the face of increasing climate uncertainty.
The project, in cooperation with AAFC, Canola Council of Canada, Ahasa Inc., Pennmann Farms, and AdvancedUAV Ltd., will leverage Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and multi-sensor data fusion technologies by integrating drone data, satellite imageries (e.g. RCM data, ESA Sentinel series data, and Canadian Earth Daily data), agroclimatic information, and in-situ ground truth measurements to improve the assessment and prediction of:
🌱 Crop emergence dates
🌾 In-season above-ground biomass
🍃 Leaf Area Index (LAI)
☀️ Crop Health conditions
📈 Crop yield
We are grateful for the support from the AAFC AgriScience Program and for its continued commitment to advancing agri-food innovation across Canada.
This milestone marks an exciting next chapter for AUG, and we look forward to contributing to the advancement of climate-smart agriculture and precision agriculture technologies that can enhance economic growth & development, improve sustainability, and strengthen the competitiveness of Canada’s agricultural sector. Through this project, we also support the Canadian jobs creation, knowledge transfer, minimize crop environmental footprint and reduce labour costs that will benefit Canadian growers, researchers, and the broader agri-food ecosystem.
