About us
The Digital Approaches for Resilient and Sustainable Agriculture (DARSA) group is part of the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG), at Aarhus University. Within DARSA, we develop and apply remote-sensing tools and innovative open-source machine-learning methods to make agroecosystems more productive, sustainable and resilient. We collaborate with other members of the QGG as well as with other researchers in Aarhus and worldwide to target both the breeding and production sides of agriculture. Amid severe environmental crises, we aim to lead a new, digital and sustainable, green transition. The DARSA group recently started, and we are actively looking for collaborators and new members, so do not hesitate to contact us.
