Autorenporträt
Dr. Latief Ahmad is a distinguished author and researcher in the field of precision farming and agro meteorology. With over 15 years of experience in agricultural science, Dr. Ahmad has made significant contributions to understanding the intersection of meteorology, climate variability, and precision agriculture technologies. He earned his Ph.D. in Agronomy from a renowned agricultural university of India, where he focused on developing innovative strategies to optimize crop production through the integration of weather data and precision farming techniques. Throughout his career, Dr. Ahmad has authored numerous books on crops science, agro meteorology, precision farming, climate change issues in agriculture, IoT, Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence published by Springer, CRC Press and World Scientific. Dr. Ahmad also published scholarly research articles and book chapters on topics ranging from remote sensing applications in agriculture to the role of climate information in decision-making for farmers. Currently, Dr. Ahmad serves as a Scientist (SG) of Agro meteorology at a leading agricultural University in Kashmir India, where he continues to mentor students and conduct cutting-edge research in precision farming and agro meteorology. His dedication to advancing the field and his commitment to addressing the pressing issues facing agriculture make him a respected figure in both academia and the agro meteorology community. Dr. Ahmad is also visiting scientist at two universities in North America. Mr. Gazi Mohammad Shoaib Shah is a meticulous, well-organized, and diligent individual with prior experience of managing challenging projects, conducting data analysis, and creating reports.
