Cape Town based aerial-data analytics startup Aerobotics has launched five new innovative precision agriculture products that aim to help fruit and wine farmers to detect pests and diseases.

Agtech is a broad category ranging from farm-level analytics to genetics and biochemistry to food processing. This article focuses exclusively on farm-level analytics — which includes aerial and satellite imagery, farm-level profit optimization, field-level production optimization, and sensing — and for the most part has focused on improving machinery, input decisions, and economic decision-making. 

Extreme climate conditions, prolonged drought, weather anomalies and endangered species are just a few of the aspects to consider when talking about sustainable water supplies. Could precision agriculture be the answer?

Marcus Hall was nine years old when he first drove a tractor on his family's sprawling Iowa farm, eschewing Tonka trucks and Matchbox cars for long rides on heavy machinery.

The EU is asking all European farmers to take part in a survey to get a better view on the use of precision agriculture technologies in European agriculture. Is technology the way to improve farming?

The report says it “can be considered an interdisciplinary science leading to breakthroughs and incremental technology advances to improve agricultural productivity, efficiency, and/or sustainability.”

As demand for food grows, we need to ensure the way we produce it remains as environmentally sound as possible. Farmers can now be guided by technology, to use earth’s resources like land and water in the most efficient way.

In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt.

Increased adoption of variable rate, remote sensing and guidance technologies are fuelling the growth of the precision farming market.

Presisieboerdery is 'n sisteem wat geskoei is op die beginsel van voortdurende verbetering in elke aspek van 'n boerdery.

A £5 million research project led by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) and involving nine countries – from Scandinavia to the Middle East – is seeking to revolutionise the use of precision technology in sheep and goat farming.

Technology is transforming our food chain, with some of the most important innovation occurring in the rise of precision farming.

Quite a few Dutch farmers are looking abroad for the future. There is more and cheaper land, there are fewer rules.
