Conor Kehoe achieved a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Science, specialising in Animal and Crop Production, at University College Dublin (Ireland). Currently, he is a PhD candidate at University College Dublin’s School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, based at UCD Lyons Farm. His research focuses on using digital data to create decision support systems for cereal crop production systems, ensuring there is a real benefit to farmers from using digital systems. This research is part of a Horizon Europe funded project, DIVINE, which aims to develop an agri-data ecosystem, allowing farmers to take control of their data, make more informed decisions, and decide upon which aspects they would like to share with interested stakeholders. UCD is one of 4 pilot partners in this project, implementing the proposed solutions in an Irish cereal crop production system. His research interests include variety selection, farmer decision-making, crop establishment systems, crop rotation, soil moisture, soil compaction, crop management, digital agriculture, and precision agriculture.
