Скачать или смотреть [Session 3] India-Canada Digital Collaboration: Digital Technology and AI for Precision Agriculture

Together with Asia Pacific Foundation and IITM-Pravartak Technologies Foundation in India, Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster is hosting a series of workshops to explore the opportunity for industry and research collaborations between Canada and India in regenerative agriculture and the role that digital technologies, computational chemistry, cyber-physical systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics and automation can contribute towards a sustainable agricultural future.

Big Data in Agriculture
Big data can truly revolutionize the agricultural sector by harnessing an interconnected data
ecosystem with the right tools and software to integrate various data sources. With global
food demand set to surge almost twofold by 2050, it will be incumbent upon farmers and
agricultural producers to harness data and innovation to improve productivity and feed a
growing global population. Armed with data from a growing array of soil sensors, GPS equipped
equipment, weather and environment information, producers who implement
precision agriculture will gain competitive advantage in their operations. On an aggregate
basis, there is also an opportunity to take advantage of combined datasets to provide
unparalleled data analytics and insights that can better predict and manage key resources
while increasing productivity. In this workshop, we will explore the concepts of leveraging agriculture data in the context of:
● Data trusts and data cooperatives
● Data management
● Data sharing and governance
