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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
