forecasts for diseases such as downy mildew and oidium.

We said that our approach combines algorithms, satellite data and intelligence
artificial to offer a practical and accessible system, designed to work without

Another central theme was the value of sustainability: Better predicting means
treat only when needed, reducing the number of steps in the vineyard, containing the
costs and reducing the environmental impact, including in terms of CO2 emissions.
