• How Is Technology Paving The Way For Digital
  Farming Globally And In India

• Agriculture is one of the oldest sectors and has
  been radically transforming. And technology has
  been one of the foremost drivers of agricultural
  transformations leading to advancements in
  equipment and improved productivity. The
  digitalisation of farming is enabling efficient
  cultivation leading to more yield, increasing
  farmer incomes and boosting the economy.
  Technologies like artificial intelligence, IoT,
  cloud computing, connected sensors, and other
  emerging technologies are leading to sustainable
  farming globally.
• Consequently, framers can make the most of
  agricultural equipment leasing companies and
  avail of agricultural loans from NBFCs like
  Netafim agricultural financing agency (NAFA) to
  upgrade their farming practices by adopting the
  latest technologies.

• Data Analytics Help Farmers Make Informed
  Decisions

• The world population is expected to reach 9
  billion by 2050, and the demand for food will
  increase by 70 by 2050. Simultaneously, the
  agricultural output should rise to meet the
  projected demand for food in the coming years.
  Technology is of utmost importance to catch up
  with the rising demand, and the utilisation of
  data analytics in agriculture would help to a
  great extent.
• There are innumerable data analytics benefits in
  agriculture with emerging precision farming and
  data-driven solutions. The Agriculture Analytics
  Market size was valued at USD 0.8 billion in
  2020, and it is projected to increase to USD 1.4
  billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 12.2. By
  leveraging data, farmers can increase
  productivity, and with the help of real-time
  data, they can gain information and understanding
  about environmental challenges.
• Data analytics also help farmers monitor the
  crops health and create predictive analytics
  about future yields. Furthermore, they can ward
  off many risks and make a decision based on
  trends, reducing waste and increasing their
  profits.

• Iot Is Transforming Agriculture Tremendously

• The IoT-based agriculture market size was valued
  at USD 11.9 billion in 2020, and it is expected
  to reach USD 18.7 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of
  8.8. In IoT-based smart farming, monitoring crop
  field conditions with sensors such as soil
  moisture, temperature, humidity, and more is
  extremely easy.
• It helps automate irrigation systems by adopting
  internet connectivity and monitoring field
  conditions anywhere and anytime. IoT also helps
  reduce the need for manual labour by using remote
  sensors, computer imaging, machine learning, and
  analytical tools.
• IoT-based agricultural devices with integrated
  farming equipment like NetBeat perform various
  functions such as operational efficiency,
  maximising yields, minimising wastage, cost, and
  energy, increasing profitability, and protecting
  the environment through real-time data. These IoT
  in agriculture technologies consists of unique
  equipment with wireless connectivity, software,
  and IT services.

• Cloud Computing Helps Farmers In Collecting,
  Analysing, And Storing Valuable Data

• Cloud computing in agriculture allows farmers to
  collect data from soil sensors and high-quality
  satellite images to make informed decisions and
  manage their crops efficiently. The wireless
  sensors help gather real-time data and machine
  learning algorithms analyse the data to aid
  farmers with the proper understanding of the
  farming environment.
• The sensors monitor the soil in real-time and
  collect data in the cloud-based system, and
  artificial intelligence automatically analyses
  it. Farmers can adopt precision farming that
  leans on technology and reduces the harmful
  effects on the environment. Global greenhouse gas
  emission is a serious concern that the world is
  dealing with and agriculture, forestry, and other
  land use contribute to 24 of greenhouse gas
  emissions. All the technologies like Artificial
  Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and
  cloud computing helps in minimising harmful
  environmental effects and maximising
  productivity, decreasing the use of water,
  fertilisers, pesticides, and much more.
