Tavant/Bayer partner for dig ag innovations

摘要

US information technology business Tavant (Santa Clara, California) has forged a partnership with Bayer's Crop Science division. The deal is to focus on introducing “innovative” digital solutions to aid growers in optimizing crop yields, and minimizing the environmental footprint of farming operations, besides reducing expenses. Tavant notes that the companies would leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and Internet of Things (IoT)-based analytics, besides Bayer's “ready-to-use” data models. It claims that the collaboration would “transform” the agriculture industry, adding that it has invested “significantly” in developing sustainable and efficient farming practices.
