Automation, high-speed communication, artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles, big data, interconnected machinery, and cloud analytics offer previously unachievable leaps in agricultural processes. Technology enables improved productivity, quality and yield and information that enables farmers to make better decisions.and an opportunity for the economic benefits of technology to bring prosperity to rural communities.
