Future trajectories of agricultural productivity need to incorporate environmental targets, including the reduction of pesticides use. Landscape features supporting natural pest control (LF-NPC) offer a nature-based solution that can serve as a partial s
For ten years, progress in computer science, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and agronomic modes have improved farming practices, provoking two consecutive revolutions: smart farming [5,6] and now, robotic farming [7]. A major line of research in this revolution is the improvement of...
