How can connected and cloud technologies provide innovative and sustainable solutions to meet the growing needs of agriculture and farming?
With the world's population reaching an estimated 10 billion by 2050, the need for sustainable agriculture has never been more important. With limited available arable land, the agricultural sector is turning to connected and cloud technologies to increase productivity and efficiency. Incorporating technology into agriculture is more than just innovation. It is about survival and sustainability, meeting the urgent need to produce more with less.
Can advanced technologies such as cloud computing and IoT transform traditional farming environments, and how do they benefit modern farmers?
On MarketScale's Software & Technology podcast, host Ben Thomas speaks with Chris Winkler, director of digital software and solutions at John Deere. They explore the intersection of technology and agriculture, and how connected and cloud technologies are driving major advances in the agricultural sector.
Main points of conversation:
- The role of sensor technology and data analysis in optimizing agricultural management.
- The impact of self-driving cars and machines on increasing agricultural productivity.
- How cloud technology provides farmers with real-time insights and decision-making tools.
Chris Winkler has a solid background in technology and its agricultural applications, providing a critical need for integrating digital solutions into agricultural equipment. His work focuses on making agriculture more efficient and sustainable through technological innovation and was instrumental in John Deere's transition from a traditional machinery company to an agritech leader.
