siliconindia | | May 20194Technological innovations are beginning to transform every link in the food chain, from seed to fork. In developed countries, digital technologies and analytics are making farm operations more insight-driven and efficient. Here are the five global trends catalyzing digital transformation in agriculture. Precision farming and technological advancements along the supply chain can help address these challenges and meet rising global food demand, driving the next wave of agricultural revolution. Machine learning and advanced analytics are being used to mine data for trends in every sector, and agriculture is no exception. These can be applied before seed planting with plant breeders. Machine learning can predict which traits and genes will be best for crop production, giving farmers the best breed for their location and climate. At the field level, machine learning techniques that use satellite data to distinguish between crops, like corn and soy, providing valuable information for crop insurance, logistics, and commodity markets. The intersection of robotics and data from an increasingly connected farm will accelerate this trend even further.Agriculture is undergoing massive transformation because of digitization, creating market dynamics that are difficult to predict. With investors putting more than USD 700 million into agtech companies in 2017 (about double the previous year), more change and disruption are on the horizon. The agricultural sector has witnessed the infusion of digital intervention. Most stakeholders understand that the next growth curve for agriculture can be achieved through digital innovation in the sector. It can transform the entire input supply chain, crop management cycle, and storage and market access. This edition of SI Technology has brought forth some society builders who have taken innovation and technology and married it to Agriculture, thereby resolving some of the most long standing issues in Indian Agriculture domain.Let us know what you think.Chitra MishraSpecial Editoreditor@siliconindia.comEditorialA Turn Around in Agri Tech Vol 07 · Issue 10-4 · May 06, 2019 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Managing Editor Anamika Sahu Special Editor Chitra Mishra Editorial Team Ananth.V Avinash Roy Archee Roy Imelda Tarzania John Roshan Anto Shefali Mathur Sophia Rohtagi Srrayvinya OLM Sujith Vasudevan Sushruth R Trisha Pragya Advertising Managers Editorial queries editor@siliconindia.com To subscribe Visit https://www.siliconindia.com/subscribe/ or send email to subscription@siliconindia.com Cover price is Rs.150 per issue.
