Abstract

This IDC Perspective examines the current level of adoption of public cloud among companies in the agriculture industry and highlights how industry clouds and horizontal cloud solutions are being used. IDC expects cloud adoption in agriculture will grow as the industry digitizes and provides an overview for technology buyers of some of their cloud computing options.

"Cloud adoption in the agriculture industry has trailed other industries even though it offers compelling benefits to users," says Jason Bremner, research vice president, Industry and Business Solutions at IDC. "Cloud is becoming the engine for digital innovation and agriculture companies should consider their options of the vast array of cloud solutions to avoid the pitfalls users have seen in other industries."
