Abstract

This IDC Perspective provides guidance on immediate actions agricultural concerns can take with IoT to address food loss and waste. The need to do so grows more critical by the day as diverse geopolitical and economic pressures threaten the world's food supply.

"Organizations are eager to act now to address what the UN projects to be the largest global food crisis since World War II," says Marcia Walker, director, Internet of Things Research at IDC. "Fortunately for farmers and others across the agricultural value chain, today's broad-based cloud and as-a-service business models make it easier than ever to start small while building a solid foundation for future use cases."
