Stefano Amaducci Department of Sustainable Crop Production, Universit� Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC), Italy.Stefano Amaducci is Full Professor of Agronomy and Field Crops at the Department of Sustainable Crop Production, Universit� Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC), Italy. Since 2019 he has been president of CITIMAP Scarl (www.citimap.it), a company that develops remote sensing solutions to support precision agriculture. He leads the field crops research group at UCSC which studies and develops management strategies to increase sustainability of agricultural systems. Research is carried out at the interface of crop ecophysiology, applied agronomy and soil science. Prof. Amaducci has recently developed a modelling platform for the optimization of agrivoltaic systems. He was chairman of the international conference Agrivoltaics2022.
