While technology can help farmers produce more while consuming less resources, also crucial to sustainability are tried-and-true conservation practices and geographic features leveraged to preserve waterways and prevent erosion.  In this session, we explore a proposal and proof of concept demonstrating how neural networks may be used to detect sustainable practices in agricultural fields.  From annotation to model training and image segmentation, learn how Mask RCNN was used to find sustainable features in four Iowa counties.
