Abstract

According to the United Nations, in order to feed the world's expected population of 9.7 billion people in 2050, agricultural production must rise by 69% between 2010 and 2050. Using cloud computing for agriculture to monitor crop inputs and output can help meet the food demand. Cloud computing in agriculture has been a breakthrough and a game-changer for the industry. Often cloud computing is used to gather, analyze, and store data about agriculture. This paper provides a primer on the use of cloud computing in agriculture.
