Smartphone photos may be able to predict rice
Rice provides 20% of the world’s food energy, with expected demand rising by 60% by 2050, but climate change, more extreme weather and evolving pathogens threaten farmers’ ability to produce enough of the crop. To help better predict crop yield — and how interventions may improve yield — an international research team has developed an approach that farmers may be able to implement using just a smartphone.
