Microsoft FarmBeats with Zerina Kapetanovic
Zerina Kapetanovic is at the intersection of technological innovation and food production. She’s working with Microsoft’s FarmBeats team to enable data-driven farming. Microsoft believes that data, coupled with the farmer’s knowledge and intuition about their own farm, can help increase farm productivity, and also help reduce costs. The team are building several unique solutions using low-cost sensors, drones, and vision and machine learning algorithms.
