Earlier, farmers would only plant crops based on what they thought would be successful. However, today, it is more than just producing crops and farm operations are becoming more business-oriented. Rather than just being good producers, farmers now need to address soil fertility, crop profitability, agribusiness resilience, and sustainability to name a few. Every single […]
As estimates suggest, we’ll have to increase food production by around 60% to feed the growing global population by 2030. And that’s not the only challenge; degradation of arable land and resources, fluctuating weather patterns, and climate change are significantly affecting agricultural production in recent years. With all these challenges in mind, it is clear […]
The agriculture industry – like every industry – has had to grapple with seismic changes over the past few years in the way it operates and conducts business. In terms of labour, the industry has dealt with inefficiency and widespread shortage as a result of many factors. Stringent immigration laws, a declining interest in agricultural […]
To thrive in today’s dynamic agricultural economy, agricultural enterprises around the world need to incorporate the new-age, digitalised methods of crop cultivation. Not only will this transform food production potential with better farming efficiency but will also create more transparent and traceable food supply chains. To make this possible, legacy software systems can come in […]
For a long time, the agriculture industry has been thriving on the farmers’ ability to predict weather patterns, yield capacity, and consumer demand. However, these demands are changing amidst the increasing intensity of climate change and unpredictable weather events that can be detrimental to yields and profitability. Guesswork and assumptions are thus no longer contributing […]
The technology tools that make the present and especially the future of agriculture more interesting would be less revolutionary without artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Undoubtedly, agricultural machinery and equipment based on these two disruptive technologies have brought global farming to a new level of efficiency. On the modern farm, the use of […]
Much like the global energy transition, we believe the world is now entering into a food transition. Seismic tailwinds such as massive demographic changes are influencing consumer food preferences and significant advances in the technologies of food production are majorly propelling this transition. In recent times, the agriculture industry has been subject to numerous technological […]
In recent times, the two key drivers of food demand – population and income (especially in developing countries) – have been on the rise. People strongly rely on farming for food, fibre, and livestock forage. As the population grows, the demand increases with a threat of resource shortage. How do we feed the growing and […]
Imagine a world in which robotic farmers pay individual attention to each plant and animal raised for food, supplying the exact amount of water and nutrients required at the right stage of growth. For decades, farmers have been gambling on external factors such as weather, rainfall patterns, and soil properties to determine a good yield. […]
Today’s farms are characterized by the intensive use of technology and large-scale production to meet the food needs of the ever-growing population. Moreover, farms should meet high quality and environmental standards and flexibly adapt to evolving market conditions, in addition to being highly efficient. Therefore, in this complex and turbulent environment, it is critical to […]
