Abstract:
While telematics and edge computing in agriculture have evolved significantly over the past 30 years, the same fundamental problems of vendor lock-in and incompatibility remain. In this article, we introduce Avena, our new open source framework for building an ecosystem around agricultural edge computing that embraces data sovereignty while still encouraging participation from the community’s stakeholders. Built on Linux containers and the technology of modern cloud systems, Avena brings a new way of thinking to agricultural machines.
