Watch a detailed technical presentation where Nature Fresh Farms' VP of IT and Security demonstrates how AI technology revolutionizes greenhouse farming operations. Learn about the implementation of 32 different AI models that optimize everything from plant growth to pest control in a 250-acre greenhouse facility growing bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries. Discover how a data-forward approach, combined with Intel-powered AI solutions, enables proactive environmental control through extensive sensor networks monitoring light, CO2 levels, irrigation, and plant nutrition. Explore the sophisticated IT infrastructure, including a hyper-converged system and core data center, that processes vast amounts of sensor data to maximize crop yields. Gain insights into the practical financial benefits of AI in agriculture, including a closed-loop water system recycling 99% of water and efficient CO2 capture from natural gas heating. Follow along as the speaker details how a small DevOps team collaborates with growers to optimize operations from cultivation to shipping, demonstrating the tangible impact of AI implementation in modern agriculture.
