DESCRIPTION:As reported in the report recently issued by the United Nations
  (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – IPCC Report 2021)\, the be
 nefits that technology provides to a green and sustainable economy are hig
 hly appreciated and under intense research and development globally. Circu
 its and Systems (CAS)\, which are the base for any system\, can bring the 
 needed functionalities and performances for reaching eco-friendly\, circul
 ar and practical solutions.\n\nThe IoT active connection in agriculture (a
 s an example in Europe) are exponentially increasing\, proving that Precis
 ion Agriculture is a very fast-growing research field\, where more control
 led quality production\, water use optimisation\, and a lower spreading of
  pesticides and fertilisers are some key issues\, serving the improvement 
 of food quality\, but also helping the respect of agriculture for the envi
 ronment.\n\nFor reaching these targets\, electronics are the perfect tool 
 for interfacing the data sources\, extracting the data and processing them
 \, and obtaining the needed information along the whole food chain: from t
 he farmer\, and the professional stakeholders to the consumers.\n\nIn the 
 Distinguished Lecture\, an overview of electronics for precision agricultu
 re will be presented\, analysing the possible solutions that can bring imp
 ortant innovations\, advancing the actual strategies based on remote or in
 direct measurements\, by instead in-place measuring the plant and soil par
 ameters (a.k.a. Let the Plants do The Talking)\, associated with more stan
 dard information derived from environmental conditions.\n\nApplication sce
 narios for crop monitoring\, water control\, information communication and
  decision support will be presented. In particular\, will be analysed tech
 nologies for reaching the needed levels of low power and low cost\, and th
 e efficient ones to be applied to AgriFood at the global scale\, supportin
 g also food security and sustainability.\n\nSpeaker(s): Danilo De Marchi\,
