Data-Driven Agriculture
Ag researchers have shown that it:
• Improves yield
• Reduces cost
• Ensures sustainability

But…
According to USDA, high cost of data collection prevents farmers from using data-driven agriculture

Challenge 1: Internet Connectivity
(Farmer’s home/office) Cloud
Sensors • Few miles away • Obstructed by crops, canopies, etc

TV White Spaces in the Farm • What are the TV White Spaces?
• Unused TV channels
• Benefits over Wi-Fi, Zigbee, etc • High throughput at long range
• Key insight for farms: • “lots” of TV spectrum is available, more than 100 MHz
• Just like Wi-Fi router covers the home, TVWS base station can cover the farm

Challenge 2: Limited Resources
• Need to work with sparse sensor deployments • Physical constraints due to farming practices
• Too expensive to deploy and maintain
• How do we get coverage with a sparse sensor deployment?

Idea: Use Drones to Enhance Spatial Coverage
Sparse Sensor Data
Precision Map Panoramic Overview Drone Video

FarmBeats can use drones to expand the sparse sensor data and create summaries for the farm
