Future Scope for Digital Agriculture

 


Digital agriculture refers to tools that digitally collect, store, analyze and share electronic data and / or information along the agricultural value chain. Other definitions, such as those of the United Nations Project Breakthrough, Cornell University, and Purdue University, also emphasize the role of digital technology in optimizing food systems.

Digital farming is sometimes referred to as “smart farming” or “e-agriculture” and includes, but is not limited to, precision farming. In contrast to precision agriculture, digital agriculture affects the entire food value chain - before, during and after production on the farm. On-farm technologies such as yield mapping, GPS guidance systems, and variable rate applications therefore fall within the realm of precision farming and digital farming. On the other hand, digital technologies involved in e-commerce platforms, e-extension services, warehouse receipt systems, blockchain-enabled food traceability systems, tractor rental apps, etc. do not fall under the umbrella of digital agriculture precision farming.

New digital technologies have the potential to transform agriculture beyond recognition. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has called this change a revolution: "A" digital agricultural revolution "will be the latest shift that could help agriculture meet the needs of the world's population in the future." Other sources refer to the change as "Agriculture 4.0", indicating its role as the fourth great agricultural revolution. The exact dates of the latest agricultural revolution are unclear. Frankelius regards 2015 as the starting point for the fourth agricultural revolution. Lombardo et al. The starting point dates back to 1997 when the first European conference on precision agriculture took place. The World Economic Forum announced that the "Fourth Industrial Revolution" (which includes agriculture) will unfold in the course of the 21st century. Perhaps 2000 or shortly thereafter will mark the beginning of Agriculture 4.0.
