Core Beliefs
- With sufficient sensors and data, you should be able to apply the optimum resources to grow crops to their maximum yield.
- You should not need chemical fertilizers and pest control to grow healthy crops (whenever possible)
- Potential harm to crops can be caught earlier, and with less impact to yield, through intensive imaging and analytics (24hr farming).
- You can prevent harm to, and improve the well-being of, livestock with fewer manual interventions through judicious monitoring and analytics.
- Local analytics can respond more quickly, and with less expense, than cloud-based analytics, especially in areas with little to no internet connectivity.
