Conclusion
Designed for the needs of google, facebook and other web titans, modern distributed database solutions make assumptions about data and workflows that don’t match the complex world of IoT
In general farming is risky by nature. Wine grape growers are faced with a number of challenges which can be unpredictable and are out of their control such as natural physical conditions and market factors. Effects of climate change, regulatory pressures, and water scarcity have increased these risks for growers. Many growers experience significant losses due to these factors.
As there is no technology that can fully protect farms from all these adverse growing conditions, and due to the many factors which can ultimately determine a successful year it is very difficult to calculate a direct ROI for an AgTech solution.
