Irrigated agriculture represents 20 percent of the total cultivated land and contributes 40 percent to the total food produced worldwide. Irrigated agriculture is, on average, at least twice as productive per unit of land as rainfed agriculture. To increase these percentages and also improve yields and reduce waste, we must help farmers adopting digital technologies.

Many attempts have been tried, though fragmented or incomplete and not really taking into consideration the field requirements.

We propose a holistic two steps approach: first, we assess the needs and identify the type of data, the sources and the infrastructure required to feed the logic of the algorithm; second, we integrate the logic and the infrastructure with irrigation systems of choice or already in place. If we want to grow the percentages mentioned we must take into consideration the hundreds of irrigation systems already in place, not just the new ones.
