Project FARM - An intelligent data platform

Global demand for food is anticipated to increase by 60% by 2050. Today, a great percentage of the world's population is fed by small-scale farmers, primarily from developing countries, using traditional methods and rudimentary farming practices. The complex value chain and the lack of resources and connectivity add to the agricultural inefficiency, so, there is a strong need for a wider package of yield optimizing and risk decreasing services for these small-scale farmers. Project FARM, created at Capgemini's Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE) Collaboration Zone (CoZone) in the Netherlands, aims to address these issues. The Project FARM platform uses Artificial Intelligence to determine farming patterns through big data, generating insights from the data to make recommendations.
