Top Agriculture Sector Trends

digital technologies DRIVE Agricultural optimisation

Livestock farming is combining drones and GPS trackers in monitoring cattle and moving stock to optimal grazing grounds. Sensors are then used to evaluate produce quality and connect farms with processing companies in a more efficient way.

fields Drones and crop sensors

This, combined with meteorological and geological data, enables farmers to efficiently predict future harvests and adjust fertiliser use or even re-assess cultivated areas.

autonomous irrigation

Autonomous irrigation systems can deliver accurate amounts of water and fertiliser according to plant needs, increasing yields by up to 25%, while saving around 75% of water and fertiliser resources.

Smart Milking

The Smart Moo platform, was developed for dairy farms in emerging markets.  Sensor data from the milking system, wearable gadgets and milk processing equipment, improving traceability and augmenting production value.

Autonomous Farming

Autonomous farming equipment usage is expanding and becoming a norm, as it provides more accuracy in field work and minimises harvest loss due to human error.

Specialised robots are moving from manufacturing industries into agriculture. Farming robots are expected to assist farm development in more remote areas, with minimal human labour involvement and high accuracy rates.
