Episode 003 - Sensors, Microcontrollers, and Farm-2-Table in Smart Agriculture

When you sit down to eat your next meal, think about how your food got in front of you. Did you grow it yourself or did you buy it from someone? If the latter, was it from a restaurant or a store? Do you ever wonder how it gets from the farm to your plate?

Whether you are a vegan or a die-hard carnivore, your food comes from a farm somewhere. It needs to be grown, harvested, processed, and transported to a place where it is then prepared and offered for sale. This process can be anywhere from days to months and can come from down the road or across oceans and continents. One thing is for certain, it probably involves one or more integrated circuits along the way. 

 

How could Microchip Technology help bring food from the farm to your table?
