FarmBeats: AI, Edge & IoT for Agriculture - Microsoft Research

Several studies have demonstrated the need to significantly increase the world's food production by 2050. However, there is limited amount of additional arable land, and water levels have also been receding. Although technology could help the farmer, its adoption is limited because the farms usually do not have power, or Internet connectivity, and the farmers are typically not technology savvy. We are working towards an end-to-end approach, from sensors to the cloud, to solve the problem. Our goal is to enable data-driven farming.
