Advanced technology is revolutionising industries around the globe. Agriculture is also undergoing enormous change due to advanced resources such as IoT sensors, hi-tech agricultural machinery, and automated harvesting. Plant nurseries, on the other hand, lagged behind most other industries in the adoption of digital technology and management software. However, it is finally starting to change. […]
Owing to the rising food demand of the growing population, agricultural production is increasing rapidly and severely affecting our biodiversity. Unlike conventional farming which reduces soil biodiversity leading to land degradation, organic farming methods are aimed at protecting soil biodiversity and maintaining various nutrient cycles found in healthy soil. A powerful organic farm management software […]
Agriculture has traditionally been an intuitive area with wisdom passed down from one generation to another. However, today’s problems such as climate change, depletion of arable land, and reduced resources are becoming more complex. There is also an urgent need to produce more food for the global population which is increasing at an unprecedented rate. […]
The agriculture industry has long been a mainstay for the economy of several countries around which socio-economic privileges and deprivations revolve. Broad and sustainable agriculture is necessary to raise living standards, assure food security, alleviate poverty, generate a buoyant market for industrial expansion, and contribute to the national economic growth. However, for today’s governing bodies, […]
The upsurge in population growth along with climate changes over the past few decades has significantly affected the use of water. Additionally, water resources available for agriculture are depleting at an alarming rate. For years, to overcome the population growth dilemma with fewer water resources, farmers have been using smart irrigation systems in order to […]
The global agrifood system spans various dynamic and interlinked stages of food production, processing, distribution, and consumption, with each stage consisting of different processes, value chains, numerous stakeholders, and their interactions. Food safety is a key part of such a system. However, food safety has been a paramount concern for consumers for a long time […]
The agriculture and food sector continues to face multiple challenges. With the global population projected to cross the 9.6 billion mark by 2050, the demand for food continues to defy gravity. However, at the same time, the availability of natural resources such as productive arable land and fresh water is becoming increasingly constrained. Processes such […]
Labour management is one of the most important factors responsible for the progress of any agribusiness. Poor efficiency and productivity of farm labour can be the biggest obstacle affecting the profits of any agricultural enterprise. It is thus imperative to employ good labour management practices to ensure the success of your agribusiness activities. Accurate tracking […]
In recent times, big data and analytics have made headlines across the globe for their ability to create and transform industries, drive efficiencies, and improve operational costs. As the proliferation of IoT and sensors continues to generate large chunks of data in real-time, various industries and tech-oriented companies are adopting new technologies such as Artificial […]
With the constantly increasing global population count, the demand for food production is also skyrocketing with every passing day. This, coupled with the increased utilisation of resources, is driving the need for a more sustainable approach to food production. Innovations in agritech are making it possible for food producers to employ sustainable agriculture practices and […]
