Agriculture: safer food and increased productivitiy
A smart use of big data in agriculture can increase productivity, food security and farmer incomes at the same time. Through an intelligent and widespread use of data coming from sensors the ways we are farming today can be changed entirely for the better. This can lead to a more efficient use of natural resources (including water or sunlight) in our farming practices. With advanced technologies farmers can have access to data in real time on how their farm machinery is working as well as to historic weather patterns, topography and crop performance.
Projects:
- Crop monitoring for developing countries (e-Agri)
- Mini-turbines for clean energy supply in agriculture (the miniturb project)
