Subscribe NowWest Lafayette-based Ag-Analytics and Davide Cammarano, a Purdue University associate professor of agronomy, have established a research partnership. The university says Cammarano’s research team will develop farm management strategies that optimize economic outcomes for businesses and individuals using agricultural data.
Ag-Analytics is a farm management software platform that focuses on precision agriculture data analytics, remote sensing data analytics and risk management. Ag-Analytics helps users “mitigate risks, decrease environmental impacts, improve yields and increase profits by making better-informed farm management decisions.”
“This venture will be mutually beneficial, advancing my research while helping Ag-Analytics develop tools for farmers and optimize their production,” Cammarano said. “The hope is that this partnership will create a living research hub for integrating digital tools and models that support farmers.”
The university says the partnership will allow growers to opt in to work confidentially with university researchers with field-level precision agriculture data. The data will be confidential, and researchers will be working only with growers who opt into the agreement with their university.
“Partnering with Purdue enables precision agriculture research, which drives the industry forward toward data-driven decisions and deeper analysis of field operations,” said Joshua Woodard, chief executive officer and founder of Ag-Analytics. “We are excited to establish a partnership with a premier agricultural research institution and a close neighbor to our West Lafayette, Indiana, headquarters.”
