Technologies delivering value
Here are some examples of how advanced technologies are being applied in the Food & Agriculture sector…
Monitoring crops/stock via phone apps ➔ Saving time and labour costs
Monitoring and analysing soil and environmental data ➔ Maximising natural resources, enabling proactive management, improving soil carbon
Data for predictive modelling to guide robotics, automation and planning ➔ Improving efficiency/yield and reducing use of water, pesticides, fertilisers and energy
