With a heavy dose of innovation and disruption, agriculture technology or AgTech, has transformed the operational processes and expectations of the agriculture industry. However, unlike other industries, agriculture also has to contend with using technology to radically transform the way food is produced, population is sustained, and environment is saved. According to a report by The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, small-holder farmers grow up to 80 percent of food in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. But their lack of access to knowledge and resources has made it harder for them to keep up with the competition that globalization has brought. Hence, an ecosystem ought to be created and nurtured that buttresses their zeal to innovate. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the major technologies that are proving to be a transformational for agriculture. A myriad of remote sensing techniques, from in-field sensors to drones to satellite imagery, are allowing farmers to view their crops from multiple perspectives. However, there is no point generating huge amount of data that sensors give us access to if we are unable to make sense of it. Machine learning can predict which traits and genes will be best for crop production, giving farmers the best breed for their location and climate. At the field level, machine learning techniques that use satellite data to distinguish between crops is providing valuable information for crop insurance, logistics, and commodity markets. Buoyed by these developments, the agriculture industry is witnessing more and more startups venturing into this segment.
