Why attend Precision Agriculture Technology?
Precision Agriculture (PA) seeks to use new technologies to increase crop yields and profitability while lowering the levels of traditional inputs needed to grow crops (land, water, fertilizer, herbicides and insecticides). In other words, farmers utilizing precision agriculture are using less to grow more.
The rapid rise of PA over the last 20 years has been nothing short of staggering. Given the diminishing resources and the ever growing demand, one could argue that PA is the key to sustainable farming and, so, to feeding the world.
During lunch of February 28th, Sustain OC will explore a few crucial technologies of PA and how these technologies are creating farming efficiencies. Speakers and Topics include:
Predictive Crop Analytics: Helping to Feed 9.7 Billion by 2050
Eileen Licitra
Director of Product Marketing, ClearAg, Iteris, Inc.
Drones and Analytics for Superior Performance
Steve Gitlin
VP Corporate Strategy, Communications and Investor Relations, AeroVironment
