14. Farming
● 200 years ago, 90 percent of the population lived and
worked on farms
○ 2% today
● 1940
○ One farmer could feed 19 people
● 2010
○ 155 people
14

15. The challenge
World population is increasing. 7.4 billion (2016)
● 8 billion by 2025
● 9.6 billion by 2050
In order to keep pace, food production must increase by 70
percent by 70% by 2050. Source: Food and Agricultural

16. Food Chain
Every year 1.3 billion tons of crops valued at $1 trillion are
lost or spoiled. Source: fao.org
● Lost crops
● Post-harvest
● Processing
● Distribution
● Consumption

17. Optimizing Cold Chain Transport
● Weather prediction
● Monitoring the product and transport via sensors
● Predictive maintenance
● Live Traffic Streams
● GPS
● Logistics Chain

18. Optimizing Farms
● Sunlight sensors
● Moisture sensors
● Temperature sensors
● Wind sensors
● Pulling data from 3rd party sources
○ Predictive weather
● Predictive crop yields
● Predictive market demand
We know more now than ever. Data is the key.

19. Smart Farms - IoT enablement
● Which crops to plant
○ When
○ Where
● More effective use of limited water resources
● Know weather forecast information in advance
● Evaluate the growth performance of produce
● Check the level of nutrient in the crops
● Monitor food storage
● Logistic coordination

20. The impact
Reducing waste by 25% would feed 870
million people.
That’s enough to
end world hunger.
