Precision agriculture is here
Data-driven practices are revolutionising supply chains from farm to fork
Sowing the seeds for our digital future
Over the next decade, we will see important changes to policies that govern the environmental, farming and rural affairs sector, at a time when environmental shifts bring fresh challenges in how animals are reared, crops are grown and fish are caught. New digital tools, explored in this Digital Vision for Farming, can help meet rising demand for high-quality produce with verifiable sustainability and animal health standards. The future depends on the ability to harness data for precision farming that both optimises yields and engenders the confidence of consumers.
