Ask HN: Good books/resources on technology in agriculture

11 pointsmatt_daemon2 comments

Hello HN,

I'm looking for some canonical resources on use of technology in agriculture. Not necessarily farm scale, can be anything from houseplants to small gardens, etc.

By technology I'm referring to sensors, robotics, any data-driven to make things more efficient or environmentally friendly.

Thanks!

You could take a look at the stuff from Wageningen uni, they are the worlds highest ranking agritech university. For foundational knowledge, you could look at the literature they use for their degree programs like this one on Farm Technology, MSc Biosystems Engineering [1]
