Texas A&M University researchers are using cutting-edge technology that empowers farmers to make data-driven decisions, reshaping the future of agriculture through innovation.
Digital twin technology pioneered by Texas A&M AgriLife Research is ushering in a new era of precision agriculture that is transforming how farmers manage their land and crops.
By combining data from multiple sources — drone imagery, remote sensing, artificial intelligence and big data — digital twins create a virtual model simulating real-world agricultural scenarios that can help farmers take the guesswork out of crop management. A multidisciplinary team of Texas A&M University experts, including agronomists, computer engineers, electrical engineers and civil engineers, is spearheading this innovative approach that holds promise for more efficient, resilient and sustainable farming.
Digital twin technology combines remote sensing, big data and artificial intelligence to simulate and predict real-world crop production scenarios.
Digital twins are expected to enhance crop production systems by empowering farmers to make data-informed decisions regarding planting and harvesting schedules, irrigation, resource allocation and more. Artificial intelligence-powered modeling translates massive amounts of data into actionable insights to optimize production, reduce waste and enhance sustainability. By leveraging these technologies, precision farming can simultaneously increase efficiency and profitability and reduce agriculture’s environmental footprint.
