Abstract

Big Data is changing the scope and organization of farming through a pull-push mechanism. Like in all other sectors, agri-food sector too needs to initiate new thinking infusing dynamism, for example, 'dynamic resource allocation' framework. This data-driven concept offers to provide realtime support for managing the scarce resources, climate change and supply chain disruptions with better revenues. These issues make that the scope of Big Data applications extends far beyond farming alone, but covers the entire supply chain.
