Arizona has what researchers call “the climate of tomorrow, today.”
Scientists are using a 30-ton robotic field scanner in the state to study plant genetics and hopefully develop stress-resilient crops.
Vertical Farming has come a long way over the last few years.
With some amazing new technology, crop yields are increasing while resources required to produce new crops is falling sharply.

Dr. Ranveer Chandra gives Scott Hanselman an introduction to Azure FarmBeats at Microsoft Ignite 2019.
FarmBeats is a business-to-business offering available in Azure Marketplace. It enables the aggregation of data from farms — across sensors, drones, robots, satellites, and weather providers — and generation of actionable insights using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models built on fused datasets.
