Fresh ideas in agriculture
The speed and accuracy that technology affords are required to feed a rapidly expanding global population in the face of the climatic crisis. Technology can be utilized to build more sustainable agricultural systems and boost global food security, as recent advances in agriculture have shown.
What would have happened to the vertical farming sector if there were no technology like big data analytics, robots, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence? Geographic information systems (gis) enable us to get exact, high-resolution views of the farmland. Thanks to smart farming techniques, we can now shorten the harvest season, drastically cut crop losses, and effectively manage farm resources.
Innovations have had a significant impact on the development of agriculture, from the development of ploughs to the development of milking machines. Here are a handful of the most recent developments in agricultural technology that are predicted to affect farming worldwide in 2023 and beyond.
Agricultural IoT
IoT is utilized in smart farming to enable remote crop field monitoring. It entails employing sensors to monitor things like temperature, crop health, livestock conditions, and soil moisture. IoT technology enables the development of automated irrigation systems with effective water resource management. IoT technologies can assist in calculating the correct quantity of water for crops every season by gathering crop data such as moisture and temperature.
Gis in agriculture: geographic information systems
Drones and satellite technologies are used by gis in agriculture to comprehend crop position and type, fertilisation level, soil status, and other relevant data. Farmers can select the optimal field location for crop planting and decide how to improve soil nutrition using data supplied by gis remote sensing hardware and software. Gis software tracks animal movement in livestock rearing. Farmers will then be able to monitor the health, fertility, or nutrition of their livestock.
Data Science, Ai/Ml, and Agricultural Technology
Farmers can easily forecast their crops when they use ai/ml and data science technology. For instance, 3d laser scanning and spectral imaging/spectral analysis can assist farmers in forecasting weather conditions and maximising the use of the resources needed for pest control, fertilisation, and irrigation. Farmers can examine their fields to determine the optimum spots to put seeds using ai/ml and data science technology. They can identify the ideal plant height, width, and spacing using computer vision. Then, they can employ this information to optimise their growing practices.
Resource-based agriculture
Regenerative agriculture is hailed by the world economic forum as the solution for decarbonizing the food system and strengthening farming's resistance to climate shocks. Five underlying ideas underpin this unorthodox farming method. Bolster biodiversity by incorporating both plants and animals By using all strategies that will lessen soil disturbance, you can improve soil health. Practise crop diversity by cultivating a variety of crops on the same land practise soil conservation by keeping the soil surface covered as much as possible Planting perennial crops or cover crops will maintain living roots.

Gis software tracks animal movement in livestock rearing. Farmers will then be able to monitor the health, fertility, or nutrition of their livestock.
Agriculture in a controlled environment (cea)
Plants can be grown using the controlled environment agriculture (cea) method in a strictly regulated setting. Vertical farming or indoor farming are some names for it. In this style of agriculture, hydroponic, aquaponic, and aeroponic methods are used to artificially supply plants with water, nutrients, and light in order to meet all of their needs.
It has been demonstrated that cea helps traditional farming overcome some of its difficulties. Depending on how the farm is set up, it significantly lowers water consumption, for instance. In fact, compared to regular outdoor farms, some vertical farms consume 70% to 95% less water.
In addition to making the most use of water, cea shields plants from bad weather and helps growers make the most of available space.
Drones
also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, are becoming more and more effective for managing crops and livestock. For instance, farmers can use drones with sensors to track plant development, spot disease stress, check the temperature of the field, and spray pesticides or fertiliser where they want it. Drones are employed in animal husbandry to monitor grasslands and follow animal movement on large farms. To find sick animals with high body temperatures, certain drones are equipped with thermal imaging cameras. Drones' capacity to assist farmers in gathering thorough data so they may make quick judgements is one of their natural advantages.
Robotics in agriculture
The agricultural robots market was worth close to $5 billion in 2022. One of the main reasons for the widespread use and adoption of agriculture robotics is the necessity to meet the rising global food demand. Agribots (agricultural robots) can now carry out a number of human-performed farming tasks, maximising production and conserving a tremendous amount of resources. Agribots are being employed for a variety of tasks, including seeding, crop harvesting, weeding, sorting and packaging, and managing animals.
Advanced agriculture
The amount of food produced per person has increased as a result of the growing world population. Water problems have nevertheless resulted from this due to irrigation needs. Farmers are looking to precision agriculture as a solution to these problems since it may help them save time and money. With the use of sensor technology, ai, gis, and IoT, precision agriculture is a rapidly developing farm management system that gathers and analyses data on the soil, plants, and animals. It permits the utilisation of inputs including water, fertiliser, plant nutrients, pesticides, seeds, and labour more precisely. Contrary to normal farming methods, precision farming employs a homogeneous approach over a wide region regardless of variances in topography or soil quality.
Biotechnology for agriculture
Genetic engineering will continue to be used in modern farming, despite mounting worries about the effects of agricultural biotechnology on human health. Why? The ability of this approach to boost productivity and enhance food security around the world is what makes it appealing. Furthermore, it has been established that genetically modified organisms are safe for human health. Farmers' refusal to adhere to regulatory norms when using agricultural biotechnology is the main issue that could make GMOs dangerous for ingestion. In any case, agricultural biotechnology can increase the calibre of agricultural output and aid in the development of more climatically adaptable crops.
Analytics & big data
With sensors and other technology, the farm is evolving into a data factory, gathering thousands of data points on everything from soil quality to humidity and crop yields. Farmer's decisions on when to plant and harvest, how much water or fertiliser to use, and how much seed to sow can be aided by big data & analytics. Weather and environmental changes can affect farming operations and are challenging to obtain, especially for big farms. Farmers can predict water cycles or rainfall patterns by using big data and analytics in agriculture.
Authentication technologies
Agriculture production should be built on a knowledge- and data-driven approach in today's information-driven environment. To produce more food more effectively, farmers must be able to connect with one another, suppliers, and consumers. Technologies for connectivity can be used to accomplish this. Mobile devices, satellite technology, and internet-based platforms are examples of connectivity technologies that enable farmers to share information to improve the way they raise their livestock and cultivate their crops. Farmers can now sell directly to consumers or connect with potential customers thanks to these technologies.
Conclusion
We are constantly informed that the rate of population growth around the world is amazing. New agricultural advancements are therefore required to secure the survival of our species.
