AI Fights Soil Degradation in Spanish Vineyards

Facing widespread soil degradation costing €50 billion annually, Spain is tackling the issue head-on. Geographer Jesús Rodrigo Comino uses AI and geographic information systems to develop tools for farmers, improving vineyard soil management and preventing erosion. His work, part of the EU's 'A Soil Deal for Europe' mission, combines field experiments and public education to raise awareness and promote sustainable practices. Climate change exacerbates the problem, highlighting the urgency of Comino's research to preserve Spain's cultural heritage and economy.
