Background
Intellectual property (IP) refers to any creation or product of the human mind or intellect. It can be an invention...
A JRC-developed expert-driven explainable AI (xAI) model can detect multiple climate hazards impacting agriculture in Europe. It enables probabilistic detection and uncertainty estimation of areas of concern, hence improving risk management.
Climate extremes pose significant threats to agriculture in Europe: cold spells can bring frost during the flowering phase, while excessive heat and low water availability can stress vegetation, thus reducing crop yield.
By integrating decades of expert knowledge with advanced explainable AI (xAI) techniques, a team of researchers led by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed an expert-driven model that can detect multiple climate hazards affecting agriculture in Europe.
The model - described in a scientific article published in Nature today - can improve risk management and adaptation, helping to boost the resilience of agriculture in Europe. This marks a step towards developing more robust and reliable multi-hazard early warning systems for agriculture.
By combining the power of AI with the irreplaceable expertise of domain specialists, this model can help to improve climate resilience and safeguard food security in the face of increasing climate variability in Europe.
