ROSTOCK/DUBAI – (ARAB NEWSWIRE) -- Fraunhofer IGD will join other leading international exhibitors at the AgroFarm Middle East 2025 event in Dubai from October 6-7 2025, showcasing its latest research on digital crop and livestock farming. At booth G12 in the German Pavilion, Fraunhofer IGD will demonstrate how artificial intelligence, imaging, and sensor technologies can promote more sustainable and efficient practices in plant production, animal health, and food safety.
 
Smarter Crop Management
AI-supported monitoring allows for early detection of stress symptoms in strawberries grown in polytunnels. This enables timely interventions that stabilize yields and improve fruit quality.

Advanced AI models reliably detect and identify weeds, supporting biodiversity monitoring and enabling spot-spraying instead of large-scale treatments.

In sugar beet cultivation, drone-based monitoring can identify biotic stress factors, such as Cercospora leaf spot, with high precision. Spot-spraying techniques ensure that treatments are limited to the affected areas, reducing chemical use while maintaining crop health and protecting the environment.

In forestry, Fraunhofer IGD uses image analysis and remote sensing to identify tree species and evaluate their health. Existing technologies can also be applied to additional crop-management challenges, such as palm weevil infestation.

AI for Food Security
Fraunhofer IGD will also present innovations in food safety. Using a combination of AI, hyperspectral imaging, and satellite data, it is possible to detect wheat diseases associated with mycotoxin accumulation. These solutions provide early warning and specific recommendations to ensure that only safe, clean raw materials enter the food supply chain.

"Farming systems face a variety of challenges that can be addressed with intelligent, scalable, and sustainable solutions," says Dr. Philipp Wree, Head of the Bioeconomy Division at Fraunhofer IGD. "By applying artificial intelligence and imaging technologies to crop and livestock farming systems, we help producers increase efficiency, reduce their environmental impact, and contribute to global food security."


Health Monitoring in Livestock and Aquaculture
Fraunhofer IGD's expertise in imaging and AI-based analysis benefits livestock farming as well. Applications include detecting lameness and vital parameters in dairy cows, performing ultrasound-based pregnancy diagnostics, and monitoring behavior. Fraunhofer IGD also contributes to modern, sustainable animal production methods, such as larval quality control in black soldier fly farming, health monitoring in poultry, and innovative aquaculture solutions.

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA): The Smart Crypto Investment Strategy Using Bybit’s Trading Bots

  Cape Town, South Africa — ( AfricaNewswire.net ) — Contrary to popular belief,  the bottom of the crypto market cannot be perfectly timed.  Even the most experienced investors fail at market timing. From buying high and selling low to panic-selling due to fake news and market volatility, emotions often lead investors into costly mistakes. Legendary investors like  Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch  have long discouraged market timing. Instead, they advocate for a proven long-term investment strategy known as  Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) . Dollar Cost Averaging  (DCA)  is a long-term investment strategy in which you invest a fixed amount of money in an asset at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. Instead of trying to time the market, DCA allows you to buy during both market highs and lows, thereby reducing the impact of volatility while lowering your average entry price over time and building wealth consis...

Stablecoins Emerge as a Key Financial Hedge Against Inflation Across Africa

  BYBIT Cape Town, South Africa — ( AfricaNewswire.net ) — As inflation continues to erode purchasing power across multiple African economies, stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a critical financial tool for everyday users seeking protection against currency depreciation and financial instability. From Nigeria and Ghana to South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Zimbabwe, individuals and small businesses are increasingly turning to digital dollars such as USDT, USDC, and DAI to preserve value, facilitate cross-border payments, and maintain access to stable purchasing power amid volatile local currencies. Rising Inflation Drives Digital Dollar Adoption With inflation exceeding 30% in Nigeria, repeated currency devaluations in Kenya, and persistent instability in countries like Zimbabwe and Ghana, saving in local currency has become a high-risk strategy for millions of Africans. As a result, stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to the U.S. dollar, are now wi...
