• Sensors of all kinds are rapidly being developed:– Flow, pressure, energy ,weather, moisture,

fertility, nutrients, plants, biological sensors, chemical sensors, video, GPS, food safety, disease, pathogen, identification, RFID, barcoding, tagging wastewater, odor, asset tracking, ,,,,

• Challenges: – All sensor data to be transmitted in real-time– Rural areas lack higher speed data– Technology sectors lacks vision/direction in

Agriculture

Water Issue and Challenges: New Oil

Water Issue and Challenges: New Oil

• Increased irrigation demand due to growing global population.

• Most regions of the world have drastic shortages of irrigation water.

• Modern crop production requires engineered irrigation system and water efficiency technologies

• New water conservation technologies can improve crop production, and profitability, reduce costs.

New Trends : water management and profitabilityNew Trends : water management and profitability

• Trends toward more larger Global farms• More Integrated and market driven farms• Well engineered irrigation systems• Fully incorporate sustainability as a profit

center• More crop diversifications • More relying on technologies to produce
