AgMonitor believes that the data belong to the growers and processors. The food and agriculture industry will benefit from more standards that are commonly found in other sectors such as energy. Innovation requires a healthy eco-system the same way a good crop needs a healthy soil. AgMonitor pioneered an open architecture that can integrate other sources of data relevant to farming in collaboration with the University of California and other partners.

From Data to Tomato
By Sonia Fernandez, 2015
The Institute for Energy Efficiency at UCSB, the Agricultural Sustainability Institute at UC Davis, and PowWow received funding from the California Energy Commission. The project demonstrated over 3 years how existing smart meters deployed for automated energy billing can be used to measure groundwater use at a low cost. The research partners also demonstrated how data-driven irrigation can help growers deal with droughts. The project showed an improvement of 9% in crop yield for the same level of water consistently across alfalfa, almond, pistachio, and tomato.
