Ask HN: Good books/resources on technology in agriculture

11 pointsby matt_daemonover 2 years ago
Hello HN,<p>I&#x27;m looking for some canonical resources on use of technology in agriculture. Not necessarily farm scale, can be anything from houseplants to small gardens, etc.<p>By technology I&#x27;m referring to sensors, robotics, any data-driven to make things more efficient or environmentally friendly.<p>Thanks!
