The Brazilian Climate
Key to the revolution of Brazil’s sustainable intensification is optimizing the use of inputs. While a large focus is rightly placed on agrochemicals such as bio fertilisers and soil adjuvants, the correct water input is also vital to maximum efficiency and yield on the farm. Irrigation systems is one factor, but maximum potential could be gained by utilizing the Brazilian climate to its utmost; specifically, its level of rainfall.
To this end, RainWise and Weather Underground will work together to offer their insights, technology and expertise to the Brazilian agriculture climate by attending Sustainable Intensification 2016. Together, they will offer the machines and hardware essential for farmers to use the weather to aid their crop growth, as well as the data and software that is necessary to take full advantage. They are expected to share a space to discuss their organisations as one comprehensive precision agriculture solution.
John Celenza, Weather Underground’s Director of Technology, is due to speak at Sustainable Intensification 2016, and expressed Weather Underground’s delight at attending:
“At the upcoming summit, we look forward to collaborating with industry leaders to discover innovative ways to maximize sustainability and increase the availability and accessibility of localised weather data throughout Brazil.”
Challenge Advisory are pleased to welcome RainWise and Weather Underground to Sustainable Intensification 2016, and wishes them to continue to innovate in order to provide efficiency to Brazilian agriculture.
