Shaping Agriculture Business by 4 Trends!

Megatrends like IoT, GIS, and sustainability will shape agriculture in the upcoming years.

FREMONT, CA: Three megatrends guiding several industries are Digitization, the Internet of Things, and sustainability for a couple of years. However, technologies and sensitivity to green matters are expanding in interest for the agriculture sector. Here is some verity of the megatrends in agriculture.

Yield Monitoring and Estimation

Yield mapping collects geo-referenced data on crop yield and features, like moisture content, while the crop is being harvested. Several techniques leveraging a range of sensors have evolved to map crop yields. The yield estimated at each field location can be displayed on a map using a GIS software package. When growing conditions in a field fluctuate, normalization can occur with relative yields recombined into one data file for the entire field.

Management of Farm

Farm management software gives agribusinesses full control over their farming operations and visibility across various shareholders. From onboarding, all farmers and empowering extension workers to bring all data regarding the operation to one platform is one of the solutions farmers need. With the capacity to completely digitize all aspects of the farm, with geo-referencing potential, and the potential to track crop growth and management, farm management solutions will completely change the way farmers used to perform.

IoT in Farming

Smart farming powered by IoT technologies provides growers and farmers to mitigate waste and enhance fruitfulness extending from the quantity of fertilizer used to the numerous journeys the farm vehicles have made and the efficient usage of resources. IoT smart farming solutions are a system originated for watching the crop field with the help of sensors and automating the irrigation system. The farmers can check field conditions from anywhere.

Plant Production Eco-friendly

With the growing awareness about the environmental harm caused by large-scale agriculture, eco-friendly farming has become important. The solution which can offset damages like forest clearings, destruction of habitats, the negative effect of pesticides, and intense carbon outputs is sustainable farming. Therefore, sustainable farming is vital to a better tomorrow. Promoting sustainability across the farming value chain offers increased food production potential and active environmental protection.
