Digital agriculture. Time…
The open-mindedness that farmers are transiting in this technological era is adding importance from sunrise to sunset.
Digitization of agriculture is available and within your reach. Currently, there are more than 26 million connected devices in the agricultural sector worldwide. According to forecasts, it is estimated that in 2020 they would reach 97 million (Source: Machina Research).
Scientific and technological advances are opening new profitable furrows for farmers around the world. Tractors, seeders, sprayers, harvesters and other machines are highly automated containing a wide range of sensors.
Technology, sustainability and socio-economic factors are central axes of agriculture and the profession of farmer has multiple facets that help guide the future of agriculture and that of world food security.
The digital agriculture has a positive influence on sustainable agricultural production, reducing environmental impact, focusing on the sustainable and committed to reducing the environmental footprint.
Professionals in digital agriculture must be trained.
A challenge that stands at the gate of the field. This professional niche is key and will be part of the realization of the "digital revolution" in agricultural and livestock farms.
Training should be at local and regional level, providing professionals with knowledge so that they can carry out their tasks in the best possible way in small and medium-sized farms.
Taking into account that approximately 8% of farmers in the European Union are under 35 years of age, we find a forecast of a rapid aging process in the agricultural sector.
"We will live a European digital agriculture at two speeds."
