Accelerating precision agriculture to decision agriculture : a review of on-farm telecommunications challenges and opportunities in supporting a digital agriculture future for Australia

Abstract

This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources as part of its Rural R&D for Profit programme. The P2D project involves all Rural Research and Development Corporations, and is focused on three main aims: facilitating the development of digital technology in Australian agriculture; fostering the establishment of appropriate legal frameworks, data systems and access to critical datasets; identifying the data communications systems required to deliver the benefits of digital agriculture to the Australia farm and agribusiness sectors.
