Original 2021 statement: The concept of data-transmitting crops is a marvelous thing - and we’ll see it in our lifetime
What Jim has written about this
From “Daily Inspiration: “The thing about a big future is that it often turns out to be even bigger than you think!”” (April 2023)
Or consider agriculture, the second article in my mega-series. Whether it’s driverless tractors, weed-zapping robots, or data-transmitting crops, the future of farming is happening faster than you might think! We’re rapidly transitioning into a world of 24-hour farming, no longer restricted to farming only when the sun is up! This is one of the big issues and big ideas that I’ve been putting across in my BIG Future series. AI is playing a huge role in this transition - it gives insight into autonomy.
Precision agriculture: PA has been with us for close to 30-40 years as a concept; slowly moving at first, it has finally picked up significant speed in the last decade. AI moves it forward as it takes on the role to analyze data from sensors and drones to create precise maps of crops, allowing farmers to optimize irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticide use.
