Artificial Intelligence in Farming and Agriculture

Agriculture is a very visual industry. At every stage of the food value chain, industry workers with varying education levels, experience, and age are performing thousands of tasks and making decisions- primarily based on visual inspection. The quality and accuracy of these actions and decisions can vary greatly and have real economic consequences. Industry innovators have responded with a "more is better" approach: add more sensors, add more automation, add more inputs like drones or satellite imagery. The result is the availability of more agricultural data than ever before, for growers who are less equipped to make sense of it all.
