Farm Monitoring 2.0 is a self-monitoring system for farms that cooperatives and farm managers can use to find crop problems early

Due to the size and management of farms getting bigger, crop monitoring is getting harder and takes more time to do with the tools that farmers have always used. So, in order to keep from losing money, farm managers use pesticides and fertilizers on their whole farm. Such practices have important economic and ecological consequences. Farm Monitoring 2.0 offers a way to check on crops every day, which makes the job of farm managers easier and lets cooperatives do their best work. So, the Solution uses a combination of machine learning algorithms, remote sensing by drone and satellite, and models based on meteorological and agronomic data to predict and find the main crop problems (diseases, pests, weeds, water and fertilizer shortages, yield forecasts, best harvest date, etc.). This helps optimize technical routes, logistic flows, and operators’ working time. The service, which you can sign up for on an annual basis, includes the real-time collection and analysis of data from meteorological, satellite, agronomic, and drone sources, among others. Once the information has been processed, it is given to the end user through an app on a tablet or through a web platform.
