2007
International Photonics, Food and Agriculture Conference
Speaker Videos
Agribusiness as an industry presents
significant problems and opportunities that photonics,
optoelectronics and microsystems-enabled technologies hold
the key to solving. To address these challenges, the
Finger Lakes New Knowledge Fusion
Project, in conjunction with The International
Photonics Commercialization Alliance (IPCA), Cornell
University, Infotonics Technology Center, Inc.,
and the New York AgriDevelopment Corporation sponsored
the 2007 International Photonics, Food,
& Agriculture Conference which was held on
November 16, 2007 at Canandaigua's Inn on the Lake.
