- Precision & digital, GlobalPrecision agriculture and IoT-based farmingExplains how precision agriculture and internet-connected sensors help farmers use water, fertiliser and energy more efficiently, the barriers to adoption, and examples from California and Brazil.
- Precision & digital, GlobalIoT technology changing the future of agricultureIoT sensors, gateways and modules give farmers real-time data on soil, crops, livestock and water, supporting precision agriculture and lower operating costs.
- Precision & digital, GlobalAutomated farmingAutomation, robotics and data-driven smart farming can cut costs, spot pests earlier and save water, but need costly investment, use more energy and reduce farm jobs.
- Precision & digital, IndiaVodafone India Foundation has collaborated with Nokia to deploy a smart agriculture solutionVodafone Idea's CSR arm, Vodafone India Foundation, and Nokia are deploying an IoT-based smart agriculture service for 50,000 farmers in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
- Precision & digital, GlobalSmart greenhouses and controlled environment agricultureSmart greenhouses use sensors, climate control and lighting to manage growing conditions year-round, but high costs, skills shortages and a lack of standards slow adoption.
- Inputs & crop science, GlobalLivestock management and digital animal healthExplains what livestock management involves and how wearables, sensors and data analytics can detect disease early and guide feeding.
- Precision & digital, GlobalSmart agriculture solutions for harvesting cropsDescribes precision agriculture, drones, indoor growing controls, sensors and robots that farms can use to raise efficiency and cope with a changing climate.
- Precision & digital, Global11 highly innovative agricultural uses of technologySmart irrigation, farm robots, GPS and sensors, AI farm management, 5G networks and biochar are described as ways technology is helping farmers.
- Precision & digital, GlobalMost effective agrotech farming methods in 2022Agrotech farming uses AI, automation, plant-level sensors, robots and automated irrigation to make better use of water, energy and fertiliser and raise yields.
