We are seeking to join a FutureFoodS consortium as a scientific partner contributing advanced expertise in data-driven monitoring of agricultural and food-production systems. We would like to contribute as scientific partner, work-package leader or data-analysis and sensor-integration specialist. Our research focuses on agrivoltaics, IoT monitoring, UAV-based remote sensing, fruit quality, maturation patterns and raw-material performance, aerial robotics, multispectral and thermal imaging, LiDAR data acquisition and the integration of heterogeneous agronomic and environmental datasets.
We develop analytical pipelines and AI/ML models for crop monitoring, early stress detection, canopy characterization and indicators relevant to food system sustainability, resilience and productivity. We also have experience in orchard monitoring, crop phenotyping, stress detection and 3D canopy reconstruction using UAV imagery, combined with agronomic knowledge and satellite time-series analysis.
Additionally, we have access to multiple agricultural use cases and living labs in Spain, enabling real-world monitoring, validation and multi-actor engagement across diverse crop types.

The University of Burgos (UBU) is a public research university in Spain with strong expertise in agri-food technologies, environmental sciences and data-driven innovation. UBU hosts the JRU Drones, a multidisciplinary unit specialising in UAV technologies, remote sensing, sensor integration and advanced drone prototyping for sustainable agriculture and food-system monitoring. The university participates in national and international R&D projects and provides access to diverse agricultural fields and living labs for data acquisition and validation. UBU offers modern laboratories, UAV platforms and computing resources, contributing strong scientific and technical capacities to consortia developing resilient and sustainable food-system solutions.
