Professor Davide Cammarano has dedicated his career to advancing precision agriculture—a field that integrates technology and data to enhance sustainable agricultural practices worldwide. His election as President-Elect of ISPA is a testament to his contributions to this area of agricultural research.

“I am deeply honoured to be President-Elect of ISPA,” says Davide Cammarano. “Precision agriculture is at the forefront of sustainable farming practices, and I look forward to working with my colleagues around the world to drive innovation and knowledge in this field.”

A role with global impact

As President-Elect, Davide Cammarano will spend the next two years supporting the current President and helping to steer the direction of ISPA. His responsibilities will include organizing the society’s biennial International Conference on Precision Agriculture, developing educational initiatives, and enhancing collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.

Following his term as President-Elect, Davide Cammarano will assume the role of President for two years, where he will have the opportunity to shape the future of precision agriculture on a global scale. He will then transition to the role of President Past, providing guidance and continuity to the incoming leadership.

An international career in precision agriculture

Davide Cammarano’s journey to this prestigious role is marked by a career that spans continents and disciplines. After completing his studies in Italy, he embarked on an academic odyssey that took him to Australia, the USA, the UK, and finally Denmark. Throughout his career, he has focused on the integration of agronomy, climate adaptation, and cutting-edge technologies, with a particular interest in precision agriculture.

His research at Aarhus University continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in precision agriculture, exploring innovative methods to enhance sustainability and productivity in farming. Whether it’s through system-based modelling to address climate change or the application of digital tools in crop management, Davide Cammarano’s work is always focused on innovative and state-of-the-art solutions.

Looking forward to the future

As he steps into his new role with ISPA, Davide Cammarano is excited about the opportunities ahead. “Precision agriculture is evolving rapidly, and it’s essential that we continue to foster collaboration and innovation across borders. ISPA plays a crucial role in this, and I’m committed to ensuring that we support our members in their research and practice,” he says.

Davide Cammarano's election as President-Elect of ISPA marks an important step in his career and reflects the strong engagement of the Department of Agroecology in global agricultural research. His leadership is expected to play a role in furthering the development of sustainable agricultural practices.

About ISPA

The International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of precision agriculture, a management strategy that uses data-driven technologies to optimize agricultural production. The society plays a pivotal role in fostering collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, ensuring the dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge and innovation in this dynamic field.

The core purposes of ISPA include organizing and conducting major international conferences such as the International Conference on Precision Agriculture and the European Conference on Precision Agriculture. These events serve as crucial platforms for the exchange of ideas and advancements in the field.

ISPA also publishes a monthly e-newsletter, keeping members and subscribers informed about the latest research, trends, and events in precision agriculture. Furthermore, the society offers its members the opportunity to publish original scientific research in its peer-reviewed journal, Precision Agriculture, contributing to the global body of knowledge and driving the future of sustainable farming practices.
