The Immaculate Conception of Data
Every new tractor now contains built-in sensors that collect
data and stream it to cloud-based infrastructure. Seed and chemical
companies are using these data, and these agribusinesses are a form
of big tech alongside firms like Google and Facebook. The
Immaculate Conception of Data peeks behind the secretive legal
agreements surrounding agricultural big data to trace how it is
used and with what consequences. Agribusinesses are among the
oldest oligopoly corporations in the world, and their concentration
gives them an advantage over other food system actors. Kelly
Bronson explores what happens when big data get caught up in
pre-existing arrangements of power. Her richly ethnographic account
details the work of corporate scientists, farmers using the data,
and activist \"hackers\" building open-source data platforms. Actors
working in private and public contexts have divergent views on whom
new technology is for, how it should be developed, and what kinds
of agriculture it should support. Surprisingly, despite their
differences, these groups share a way of speaking about data and
its value for the future. Bronson calls this the immaculate
conception of data, arguing that this phenomenon is a dangerous
framework for imagining big data and what it might do for society.
Drawing our attention to agriculture as an important new site for
big tech criticism, The Immaculate Conception of Data
uniquely bridges science and technology studies, critical data
studies, and food studies, bringing to light salient issues related
to data justice and a sustainable food system.

Internet of Things and Machine Learning in Agriculture
Agriculture is one of the most fundamental human activities. It has kept humans happier and healthier and helped birth modern society as we know it. As farming has expanded, however, the usage of resources such as land, fertilizer, and water has grown exponentially. Environmental pressures from modern farming techniques have stressed our natural landscapes. Still, by some estimates, worldwide food production will need to increase 70% by 2050 to keep up with global demand. With global populations rising, it falls to technology to make farming processes more efficient and keep up with the growing demand. Fortunately, Machine Learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) can play a very promising role in the agricultural industry. Some examples include: an AI-powered drone to monitor the field, an IoT-designed automated crop watering system, sensors embedded in the field to monitor temperature and humidity, etc. The agriculture industry is the largest in the world, but when it comes to innovation there is a lot more to explore. IoT devices can be used to analyze the status of crops. For instance, with soil sensors, farmers can detect any irregular conditions such as high acidity and efficiently tackle these issues to improve their yield. In this book, we will point out the challenges facing the agro-industry that can be addressed by ML and IoT and explore the impacts of these technologies in the agriculture sector.

Intelligent Agriculture
Intelligent Agriculture: Developing a System for Monitoring and Controlling Production examines the development of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology designed to monitor and control agriculture production. The book is divided into four sections which illustrate the innovative technology of this product. Section One explores the consumer's discovery of the product and includes a benchmark analysis of the WSN against other similar technologies alongside a technological roadmap, intellectual property analysis and value proposal. Sections Two and Three demonstrate the development of WSN technology in relation to system architecture and software application. Finally, Section Four outlines concept activities used to test the WSN technology and its solutions. An illuminating resource for academics and professionals within the fields of agriculture and agribusiness, this volume will also serve as a helpful guide for other technological sectors as a reference for the development of new technologies.
