Mobile technology can enhance small farmer incomes by $140 billion by 2020 by improving connectivity, increasing information flow, and enabling traceability. Big data from thousands of farms can be collected, aggregated and analyzed to optimize planting strategies, identify disease outbreaks, and create better seeds. Social networks connect farmers to gather data, collectively develop solutions, and facilitate learning. Geospatial applications combined with statistical data map topography to help farmers make better land management decisions around usage, resources, and supplies. Financial benefits include real-time pricing to help farmers determine when to buy or hold crops and reduce waste.

between now and 2020

4. Why Use Mobile Technology in Agriculture?
■ Emerging markets  over 500 million smallholder farms
■ Decentralized structure decreases innovation
■ Mobile technology will:
■ Improve connectivity
■ Increase flow of information
■ Ensure traceability for large buyers
■ Create economic opportunities

5. Data analytics have reduced input costs by
of farmers report using precision data
15%
With data analytics, crop yields are up by
60%
13%

6. Interconnected Trends – Big Data
■ Can pinpoint
strategies that work
for small scale farmers
in a changing climate
■ Data from thousands
of farms can be
collected, aggregated,
and analyzed

7. Interconnected Trends – Big Data
■ Look for macro level
trends to:
■ Optimize where and
what to plant
■ Identify disease outbreaks
immediately
■ Create better seeds

8. Interconnected Trends – Social Networks
■ Large user base connects farmers, allows them to:
■ Gather data
■ Collectively develop solutions
■ Facilitate learning

9. Geospatial Applications
■ Used in combination with
statistical and historical data to
map out topography

10. Geospatial Applications
■ Allow farmers to make better
land management decisions
■ Planning usage of land and water
■ Natural resources utilization
■ Agricultural input supply

11. Financial Benefits
■ Pricing information in real time helps farmers:
■ Know whether to buy or hold
■ Determine the best crops to grow
■ Reduces transportation and transactional
waste

12. Extentia and Agricultural Technology
■ Expert teams at
Extentia have
successfully
combined mobility
with agriculture
