Precision Forestry: a Revolution in the Woods

摘要

Conducted by Harsh Choudhry and Glen O'Kelly for McKinsey & Company, the report argues that while digital technology is revolutionising industries around the globe, forestry has lagged behind. However, this is finally starting to change, state the authors. Choudry and O'Kelly report some forestry pioneers are starting to achieve productivity increases and returns on investment similar to other industries, and the size of these gains is comparable to the shift from animal-powered to mechanised processes.
