Anthony Amori

Research Scientist with a strong track record in the design and implementation of complex on-farm and small plot experiments using a variety of software tools and installation of various field-based data collecting devices/sensors. Assist in transforming physical products such as crop protections and seeds from products offer to digital-enabled solutions (products and services) to maximize applications positioning, rate, timing, and effectiveness in order to drive more value and overall RIO for growers through the installation of various field-based sensors and collection of high quality in-season data including drone/UAS flight data needed to drive pipeline of digital tools development and improvement. These tools will assist growers in making informed on-farm decisions, connecting them with their local environment, and helping them to prepare and navigate future unseen challenges. With my strong background in Soil-Plant-Atmosphere interactions and passion about tackling the problems associated with global food security, I am equipped to create sustainable agricultural practices that enhance both livelihoods and public health.
