A field robot autonomously hoed sugar beet for the first time in the canton of Thurgau. And FiBL filmmaker Thomas Alföldi was right there with his video camera. First he filmed the robot from all angles, sent up his drone and then interviewed the farmer about his the material into a five-minute technical video. "Video is a fantastic medium for documenting the experiences of farmers and advisors," says Thomas Alföldi. Over the past ten years he has produced almost 400 short films for FiBL's YouTube channel. The videos have had 6.5 million combined views to date. The agronomist filmmaker is also involved in various EU projects outside of Switzerland. During the times of the coronavirus epidemic he has been running numerous webinars where he gives advice on how to make informative technical videos using simple means.
