Reporting from earlier editions of The Agrotech Daily. Figures, prices and policies may have changed since.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAgricultural data privacy and securityAs farms generate more data, weak regulation, low awareness and resale of data by tech firms put farmers at risk; encryption, blockchain, rules and training can help.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe latest trends and developments in agrotech, and how they are changing the face of modern agriculturePrecision agriculture, robotics, biotechnology, vertical farming, drones, AI, blockchain, smart irrigation, big data and autonomous vehicles are changing how farms operate.
- Precision & digital, GlobalThe latest breakthroughs in agricultural research, and how they could impact the future of farmingPrecision agriculture, gene editing, vertical farming, regenerative soil management, drones, robotics, big data and blockchain are among research advances expected to change farming.
- Precision & digital, IndiaWhat is the future of agrotech in India?AI, robotics and data-driven decisions are set to spread in Indian farming, but cost, farmer scepticism and weak implementation of government policy stand in the way.
- Markets, GlobalThe impact of the pandemic on agriculture and food productionCovid-19 lockdowns disrupted input supplies, markets and farm labour, causing food shortages and price rises, while pushing wider use of drones, precision farming and automation.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAgtech for smallholder farmersExplains the problems smallholder farmers face in reaching markets, inputs, finance and know-how, and how digital tools and agtech could help.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAg-tech and the digital transformation of rural areasDiscusses how agtech could raise productivity and incomes in rural areas, the barriers of connectivity, cost, skills and data privacy, and what policymakers can do.
- Precision & digital, GlobalBest agrotech apps in 2022Agrotech uses robotics, sensors, data analytics and the internet of things to produce and store food with fewer inputs, and careers in it call for software and data skills.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAgtech for improving resource efficiency in agricultureExplains how precision farming, IoT devices and AI can help farmers use water and fertiliser more efficiently, and the cost and connectivity barriers to adoption.
- Precision & digital, GlobalFarmers use tech to make their yields efficientAI software, IoT sensors, robots and drones can help farmers cut labour and water costs and make better decisions, though cost, data security and adoption remain hurdles.
