Accelerating data science innovation: How Bayer Crop Science used AWS AI/ML services to build their next-generation MLOps service

The world’s population is expanding at a rapid rate. The growing global population requires innovative solutions to produce food, fiber, and fuel, while restoring natural resources like soil and water and addressing climate change. Bayer Crop Science estimates farmers need to increase crop production by 50% by 2050 to meet these demands. To support their mission, Bayer Crop Science is collaborating with farmers and partners to promote and scale regenerative agriculture—a future where farming can produce more while restoring the environment.

Regenerative agriculture is a sustainable farming philosophy that aims to improve soil health by incorporating nature to create healthy ecosystems. It’s based on the idea that agriculture should restore degraded soils and reverse degradation, rather than sustain current conditions. The Crop Science Division at Bayer believes regenerative agriculture is foundational to the future of farming. Their vision is to produce 50% more food by restoring nature ...
