RainWise Inc. a featured vendor at event in Brazil
Growing populations, along with growing concerns for the world’s food security, affect quality of life on a global scale.
The Challenge Advisory, a group of advisors to the world’s governments, businesses and civil society organizations, has ambitious goals for food supply and agriculture. With that in mind, Challenge Advisory is hosting the Sustainable Intensification event Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on Oct. 25-26. RainWise Inc. has been selected to display its AgroMET weather station at the event.
Monitoring weather data can provide farmers with vital information in making smarter decisions on the farm, especially with planting, harvesting, insect and disease control, irrigation and crop selection.
The RainWise AgroMET weather station users will be able to make better farming decisions resulting in economic efficiency, greater yields and better crops along with the opportunity to become a part of a vastly growing network of precision agriculture farmers. The AgroMET weather station is equipped with weather sensors for precipitation, temperature, humidity, leaf wetness, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure and solar radiation. There are also optional add on sensors for soil moisture and soil temperature, making this weather station the ideal choice for any serious farmer.
According to reports, by the year 2050 the world’s population is estimated to grow to 10 billion people, which means by 2050 food demand will increase by almost 40 percent. The Sustainable Intensification event in Brazil aims to address issues related to food security by focusing on agricultural enhancement.
Brazil has a huge agricultural market and is one of the world’s largest exporters of coffee, soybeans, beef and sugarcane. It plays a major role in keeping the world properly fed.
Current Brazilian agricultural challenges and opportunities will be reviewed through interactive discussions. This format will also encourage new business connections, partnerships and the opportunity to present future agricultural trends and modernization through new technologies and networking. RainWise will participate in the event showcasing innovative efforts to sustainable agriculture.
The AgroMET features a powerful radio with a line of sight transmission range of up to 1 mile. It also features an industry best, real time 2-second wind speed and direction update interval. Pair this with our IP-100 Internet Gateway or TeleMET II Cellular Telemetry Unit and check weather data from anywhere at anytime with a smartphone, tablet or computer.
