- Precision & digital, GlobalFarmers using tech to make their yields efficientDescribes technology farmers use to raise yields, including sensor-based irrigation, GPS-enabled tractors, remote-controlled operations and drones for crop monitoring.
- Soil, water & climate, GlobalSmart irrigation systems: cultivating the future of agricultureSmart irrigation systems combine soil moisture sensors, weather data, automation and drip lines to apply water only when crops need it, though cost, connectivity and skills are barriers.
- 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, GlobalThe role of technology in food security and sustainabilityPrecision agriculture, smart irrigation, automated farming, livestock management systems and AI can raise yields and cut waste, supporting food security and sustainability.
- 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.
- Soil, water & climate, GlobalSmart irrigation systems and water managementExplains how smart irrigation systems use sensors and weather forecasts to deliver the right amount of water, and compares drip, sprinkler, surface and subsurface systems.
