"There are 550 million farms in the world and 83% are small, less than 2 hectares, family farms with little or no access to knowledge on increasing productivity." (plantvillage)
"PlantVillage and its mobile app — called "Nuru," which is Swahili for "light" — uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to train computers to recognize disease symptoms. When deployed on a smartphone, the app couples with the device''s camera to capture images of diseased plants and provides the user with a preliminary diagnosis with a high degree of accuracy. The user also can get disease-management information and advice. The program incorporates TensorFlow, open source software for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Originally developed by Google''s Machine Intelligence research organization for the purpose of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, TensorFlow is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well, according to the TensorFlow website."
