ICTP 314: Simplifying the complexity of precision farming, with Dr Haimwant Persaud of Latitude Geospatial Consulting

Agriculture is the bedrock of our societies and our ability to feed ourselves. However, with difficult terrain, climate change and more resilient pests to name just a few of the challenges that plague that sector, having ready access to accurate and relevant crop-related information could be a game changer for farmers everywhere. In this episode, Dr Haimwant Persaud of Latitude Geospatial Consulting discusses his mobile application, Latitude Sat2Farm, including:   *  how it works and the technologies it uses;   *  the types of insights it can provide farmers;   *  the benefit Latitude Sat2Farm could offer Caribbean farmers, as the region is prone to natural disasters; and   *  other tools or technologies the region should be leveraging to help us become more resilient.    The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show and leave us a review!     Also, connect with us on: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ICTPulse/  Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/ictpulse/  Twitter –  https://twitter.com/ICTPulse  LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/company/3745954/admin/  Join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/qnUtj    Music credit: The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie), by Andy Narrell Podcast editing support:  Mayra Bonilla Lopez   ---------------- Also, Sponsorship Opportunities!
