Imagine exploring how technology can change farming. Split into two parts, reading this book is like taking a journey through old farming and new tech. The first part talks about the basics of using computers and fancy tools to make farming better. It’s written by smart people from different fields who share cool ideas. They talk about things like using machines to predict weather changes and how to grow crops more efficiently.

Bringing together different types of data from satellites, drones, and sensors on the ground is a big focus. It shows how we can use all this information to make farming better and estimate how much we can grow. Authors like Srikrishnan Divakaran, Gogumalla Pranuthi, and Rupavatharam Srikanth show, in their chapters, how we can make detailed maps of farms and systems to watch over crops. They use free tech and clever math to do this.

In the second part, the focus shifts to using computers to understand plants better. The authors use big words like “computer vision” to describe how computers “see” plants. They also talk about using fancy math to predict how crops will grow. It’s like teaching computers to be really good farmers! Authors Jorge Celis et al. and Suchitra Patil et al. explain in their respective chapters how to figure out how much crops will grow and simulate how they’ll develop using virtual plant models. This gives us exciting ideas about how precise farming could be in the future.

The discussion includes real-life examples and tools that can help policymakers and farmers. Whether it’s looking at data from sunlight or understanding detailed data from farm sensors, each chapter is full of valuable information for using technology in farming.

In the second and third to last chapters, the focus is on accurately predicting how much crops will yield. This is crucial for making smart decisions in farming. Authors Pragnesh Patel et al. and Mihir Dakwala et al., for example, use special math and computer programs to explain how to do this, helping farmers to better manage resources like water.

The journey ends with a deep dive into understanding crop genetics and how plants look. This is where advanced computer vision and learning methods come in. Authors Alka Arora et al. share a new way to use computers to spot certain features in wheat plants, showing how technology can make crops stronger and better. The book ends with stories about how all this tech stuff helps real farmers grow better crops.

Overall, Digital ecosystem for innovation in agriculture is like a map for anyone interested in the future of farming. It’s not just for scientists and experts--anyone who wants to learn about how technology can help farms can find something interesting here.
