About Us

---

Having started his career in agriculture as a part-time employee at a viticulture laboratory in 2006, Leeko Lee now earned a PhD in Plant Science, Oenology, and Viticulture specialized in ‘Remote Sensing of Plant Stress’. Over the years, his passion for wine and research has taken him to various stages of professional careers in grape growing and winemaking.   

He took a position at Belleisle Vineyards as a winemaker and vineyard manager shortly after graduating from the Oenology & Viticulture program. In the years since, the winery has established a reputation for producing award-winning wines and good viticultural practices.  Our company currently offers a full consulting service from vineyard to sales of wines for the winery.

He has a longstanding relationship with the viticulture laboratory at Brock University, where he had been involved in developing research methods for the site-specific crop management using remote sensing technologies as well as providing recommendations of innovative technologies for growers. 

Unpredictable and extreme weather, produce shortage, and possibility of reduced immigration which threatens to drive up the cost of farm labor have brought digital farming into the spotlight more recently. The  COVID-19 pandemic is also expected to increase the adoption of the digital farming system because it allows the farmers to regulate the farm processes remotely without taking unnecessary field trips. New digital farming is aimed at bringing more data and efficiency to the sector.

Our competitive advantage comes from an understanding of plant physiology and practical application of science. The mechanism of plant defense system against biotic stress could have impacts on spectral behaviour of plant leaves. Our unique plant physiology-based technology has recognized that various biotic stress in early stages can be detected by applying coefficients from electromagnetic reflections and emissions.
