Bernardo Cândido
Cândido’s research brings together remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and soil science to advance precision agriculture and sustainable land management. The work examines how agricultural landscapes change, with a particular focus on pasture biomass, soil erosion, and the use of environmental data to support practical decisions by farmers and land managers. A major focus of Cândido’s work is precision pasture management. He integrates satellite imagery, ground-based sensors, and machine learning to estimate pasture biomass and understand changes in forage availability. Through PastureCast, Cândido and his colleagues combine these observations with information about weather, soils, and management practices to help…
