Recorded from the floor of the 2014 South by Southwest conference, Frank welcomes three innovators in the arduino for agriculture space: Will Bratton, Luke Iseman, and Sam Bagot to discuss the nature and challenges of the Internet of Things as it applies to agriculture. Topics of discussion include what is arduino, why and how it is useful for sustainable agriculture, the failures of the open source community, competition from megacorporations like Verizon, fragmentation in the agduino space, and how to jump start a movement towards a standard, open platform for managing agricultural microcontrollers.
