Digitisation of Agriculture

Digitalisation is changing agriculture by helping farmers optimise crop resources to improve yields in a sustainable way.

Farmers can now obtain real-time data to help them better understand the essential factors that contribute to their crop yields. Whether it's getting a detailed picture of variability in each field, knowing the optimal amount of seed that should be planted, or monitoring the status of a crop throughout the growing season.

At every point in the agricultural supply chain, there are now tools that collect and analyse data to help farmers make better informed decisions and ensure higher crop production.

From planting to harvesting,digital technologies are helping farmers get the most out of every crop.

Importance of new technologies in agriculture

This new precision agriculture, in which all factors that can affect harvests are monitored, is characterised by cost savings and efficiency, as it optimises infrastructures, materials, working hours and energy sources.

 These are some of the solutions associated with the Digital Agricultureconcept:

  • Use of drones to monitor crops.
  • More efficient irrigation and fertilisation management.
  • Application of advanced analytics (Big Data) to generate crop or pest incidence forecasts.
  • Use of artificial intelligence to perform agronomic interpretation of satellite, drone or mobile images.
  • Automation and robotisation of agricultural machinery.
  • Management and control of the traceability of the product, from the time it is harvested in the field until it reaches the end consumer. 
  • Mobility support to agricultural technicians in their field tasks, such as pest sampling and crop estimates.

Agricultural application software

Farmers' software offers a number of advantages, among them: 

  • Collect information in areas without internet access from your mobile or tablet. 
  • Centralise and manage statistical information obtained in the field, e.g. from pest sampling or sales estimates.
  • It will allow you to minimise costs, as production will be more agile.
  • By automating processes in farm management, your products will be of better quality, which will give you a better reputation in this sector.

One of the most popular software in this sector is mobile apps, which allow better control of data on the ground.

Apps are an essential tool in the digitisation process of the agricultural sector. The reasons are obvious: in agriculture, field work is essential, so it is absolutely necessary to have tools to capture data and generate reports that can be used comfortably in the field. In addition, data capture often has to be done at the same time as field work.

Digitalisation has the potential to transform agriculture at all levels, helping farmers to deploy their resources not only more efficiently, but also sustainably. This is not just benefiting large-scale farmers in the developed world: smart digital solutions are also helping small-scale farmers in emerging economies.
