Precision agriculture

Precision agriculture (PA), satellite farming or site specific crop management (SSCM) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. The goal of precision agriculture research is to define a decision support system (DSS) for whole farm management with the goal of optimizing returns on inputs while preserving resources. | Source: wikipedia.

Introduction

Precision agriculture help farmers to monitor the health of individual crops in your field and adapt to differences in soil types, sunlight, and slope.

Read this storymap to learn more about precision agriculture.

There are a set of products in the ArcGIS platform you should know when you are doing precision agriculture:

• ArcGIS Online (for cloud storage and sharing)
  • Configurable apps (data visualization)
  • Web AppBuilder (data visualization)
  • Operations Dashboard (monitoring)
• Collector, Survey123, Drone2Map, and Workforce for ArcGIS (field work).
• ArcGIS Desktop, GeoAnalytics and Insights (analysis).
• GeoEvent (real time processing)
• ArcGIS Image Server
• ArcGIS Spatial Analyst

Learn more about how ArcGIS allows you to collect, maintain, and analyze all your agriculture field data in one centralized system. It will help to integrate high-resolution imagery, field observations, and real-time data feeds to understand how to make the most of your limited resources | Learn more about ArcGIS in Agriculture .

Training

If you are interested in precision agriculture you should be familiar with remote sensing and also learn more about:

• UAVs (drones): and how to create: orthomosaics, point clouds, ...
• Imagery: how to analyse imagery with ArcGIS to: calculate different vegetation and soils indices (NDVI, SAVI, ...), do binary thresholding segmentations, ...
• IoT & Big Data: create real time dashboards, run geostatistic models, ...

Videos

On video.esri.com and Esri Events you will find many technical talks.

There is also an Agriculture Youtube playlist that we think it might be worth to you to save (how to save a Youtube Playlist).

You might also find interesting videos at Esri Industries, ArcGIS, EsriTV, Esri R&D Center etc

Slides
