Smart Farming and Managing Data
Abstract
You may find walking down the frozen food aisle of a grocery store less than extraordinary. Unless, of course, you are particularly hungry. Hungry or not, if you consider that an intense agricultural revolution 12,000 years ago would eventually lead to those frozen fruit and vegetable packets in your cart, then a frozen food aisle can feel more than extraordinary. By chance you ever find yourself confronted with photographer Irving Penn’s “Frozen Foods” still life collection, you may never consider how those frozen fruits and vegetables were once the product of careful cultivation (and how they likely met a most ignoble end in one of Vogue’s garbage cans).
