DECEMBER, 20206 Ushering the Era of Smart FarmingIn a world where the human population is ever-increasing, the obvious challenge for us as a society is to feed all the people. And this megalithic task won't be an easy win unless the agriculture sector adapts to new approaches of farming, increasing the overall productivity while also minimising the environmental impact.Interestingly, recent innovations in the world of agriculture have come through technology startups. They have given rise to new economic models for less intensive yet more optimised modes of cultivation. These startups are now popularising the use of artificial intelligence, satellite imagery, and sophisticated predictive software that help farmers make key decisions in real-time, saving time, money, and maybe even a crop from the devastating impact of pests or extreme weather. And whether these agtech companies put their innovations at the service of `producing better,' or facilitate interaction between farmers or with their suppliers and customers, they all have one thing in common. These companies use all types of data (market, meteorological, geographical, agronomic, and more) through cutting-edge technologies to encourage farmers to improve their economic model, their yield or their environmental footprint.In this edition of Enterprise Technology Review, we bring you the story of some of the most prominent organisations specialising in best-of-breed agtech solutions and are significant drivers of key trends and strategies.
