Introducing Polifemo: A Breakthrough in Real-Time Agricultural Monitoring from the Restoration Project. The Restoration project, spearheaded by a dedicated research team from the University of Florence, has made a significant leap forward in the development of real-time agricultural monitoring technologies with the creation of the Polifemo prototype. Polifemo is designed to be an environmental sensor network that monitors spaces and their interactions, providing critical data that can assist in the transition to Agriculture 4.0. With capabilities such as big data analysis and IoT (Internet of Things) system integration, Polifemo represents a substantial advancement in the tools available for data acquisition and decision support in agriculture.

The theme of WICA2023 was "Insurance Upside Down". The conference covered topics such as disruption, innovation, sustainability, accessibility and collaboration.

Opening Seminar. Climate change has raised further significant issues that affect the agricultural sector both as such and in terms of food security.  Risk management tools, and in particular the insurance of production against climatic events, can contribute to the support of agricultural incomes, not only financially for the primary sector, but also to provide continuity in the provision of the 'common goods' that agriculture provides to the community, such as biodiversity, land preservation, and food security. However, despite the presence of public funding, the use of these instruments by farmers still does not reach a sufficient level of awareness and diffusion.

Kick off meeting. The Kick off meeting of the Restoration project took place on 20 January 2023 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Social Sciences Pole.

Project Description. The agricultural sector sees an increase in the frequency and intensity of adverse events. The tools of resilience, other than public intervention, have to be rethinked, and in particular insurance coverage, whose diffusion is currently low due to costs, bureaucracy, and progressive
