However, there is limited amount of additional arable land, and water levels have also been receding. Although technology could help the farmer, its adoption is limited because the farms usually do not have power, or Internet connectivity, and the farmers are typically not technology savvy. We are working towards an end-to-end approach, from sensors to the cloud, to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to enable data-driven farming. We believe that data, coupled with the farmer&#8217;s knowledge and intuition about his or her farm, can help increase farm productivity, and also help reduce costs. However, getting data from the farm is extremely difficult since there is often no power in the field, or Internet in the farms. As part of the FarmBeats project, we are building several unique&nbsp;solutions to solve these problems using low-cost sensors, drones, and vision and machine learning algorithms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"explore-more\">Explore more<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex
