SmartAgriFood
Teagasc is taking a national lead in SMART Agriculture where a wide variety of data sources and sensors are distilled into useable information for farmers.
Precision agriculture brings together information from field, animal and machinery based sensors, together with localised weather forecast data, localised soil information and grass growth data gleaned from satellite imagery to assist farmers in making precise decisions in relation to inputs, technologies and management practices. Thus Precision Agriculture, by enabling better targeting of inputs and resources, can increase both a farmer’s bottom line and improve the environment.
