St. Petersburg, FL, Feb. 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FutureWorld (OTCQB:FWDG), a U.S. Diversified Holding Company formed to capitalize on the burgeoning technology markets globally, announces today that it is in discussions with the "Hemp" industry on deploying wireless agricultural sensor networks for precision agriculture, irrigation systems, and greenhouses, etc. Our Smart Agriculture models allow monitoring multiple environmental parameters involving a wide range of applications with smart sensors for Leaf Wetness, Atmospheric Pressure, Solar Radiation, Air Temperature / Humidity, Soil Temperature / Moisture, Ultraviolet Radiation and etc. The smart sensor information will be collected and sent via the cloud to the central office for analysis and procedural modifications.
The technologies will be provided through "HempTech", a division of FutureWorld in conjunction with its partners. Smart sensors and intelligent communication is part of the Internet of Things and agricultural smart sensors would allow efficient cultivation and production while minimizing cost and reducing risks.
President Obama signed a $1 trillion Farm Bill earlier this month that legalizes the cultivation of hemp in 10 states. We believe this is just a beginning. We estimate that in few years most states will legalize hemp cultivation for industrial usage. Hemp, as an agricultural construct, can benefit immensely from intelligent cultivation and production for many industrial usages; from paper, shampoos, fabrics, and medical drugs (medicinal marijuana and Marinol). HempTech will provide necessary intelligence for the future of hemp agriculture and its global potential.
