    Study Notes

    • Stephanie Arnold is a researcher with the University of Prince Edward Island Climate Research Lab.
    • She is working with PEI farmers on the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Living Lab – Atlantic Initiative.
    • The project involves using precision agriculture, which utilizes technology to optimize crop management.
    • Precision agriculture enables farmers to pinpoint specific crop needs across their fields, allowing for targeted action.
    • Thermal imagery is collected using drones to detect drought stress in crops before visible symptoms appear.
    • This early detection enables farmers to anticipate and address water needs more effectively.
    • The technology helps farmers conserve water by precisely determining when, where, and how much to irrigate.
    • The initiative also improves the quality and harvest of potatoes produced.
