With the world's population currently at 8 Billion and set to hit 10 billion by the mid-century, increased efficiencies in food production driven by escalating risk of famine and resulting crop failure due to climate change, is a major human imperative. IoT networks, enhanced by AI capabilities, drone deployments, advancements in agricultural machinery and other innovations will monitor crops and livestock to inform important harvesting and animal welfare decisions, as we advance towards the ultimate goal of worldwide food security. Underpinning this is the necessity of robust, reliable and real-time connectivity... and given the remote nature of almost all farming operations the critical requirement of hyperconverged terrestrial + non-terrestrial hybrid networks.
Agribusiness Supply Chain Practice Leader
Synopsis: “Across the Agri-Industrial Equipment & Software Application landscape, the broad options available to both Farmers & Cooperatives will require multi-vendor systems integration capabilities more than ever”
Senior Analyst Space Team
Satellite has long played a role in agriculture — informing decisions and forecasts related to crop yield and water usage. New applications for remote IoT and heavy equipment connectivity present a greenfield opportunity for the satellite industry to work more closely with the agricultural sector. The benefits of IoT satellite solutions in the agriculture industry are innumerable. In terms of productivity and cost savings, these services allow for real-time data collection from fields and grazing lands. This presentation will explore further the role of satellite IoT in agriculture including key drivers, challenges and recommendations.
Senior Remote Sensing Data Scientist - xarvio® Digital Farming Solutions
Synopsis: Uncover the transformative power of modern farming techniques as this presentation explores how integrating cutting-edge technologies, such as precision sensor technology, satellite data-derived information, crop models, and artificial intelligence, enables the delivery of precise agronomic advice. By harnessing the power of multi-level information, farmers are empowered with actionable insights to optimize crop management decisions and achieve sustainable agricultural practices.
Founder and CEO
Synopsis: Modern farmers that are increasingly reliant on autonomy, face challenges in accessing reliable connectivity, especially in remote and rural areas. To enable digital agriculture at scale solutions to improve a range of connectivity solutions are needed such as maximising existing MNO coverage, using satellite on the move, and private 4G/5G network towers. Real life applications of these solutions in harsh remote environments will be presented.

Over the past few years, we have seen large increases in the global prices of fertiliser, chemical and seed. This has bought into focus the need to tailor input application to field and plant needs, however globally the adoption of Precision Agriculture technologies is still slow. This presentation will focus on what technologies are out there for farmers to adopt today, and what areas we still need to work on as an industry to make Precision Farming technologies easier to utilise by farmers worldwide.
