The Importance of Modern Agricultural Technology Adoption


Introduction Agriculture has always been and will always be crucial to sustaining the human experience and the global economy as a whole. As the demand for food increases, so too does the need for improved agriculture systems. Therefore, it continues to generate revenue for many people and firms across the world, highlighting the importance of agribusiness. In recent decades, there have been many changes necessitating the use of technology in agriculture. New farming techniques have emerged to make agricultural practices incredibly more efficient and effective. Technology adoption in agriculture has become critical for anyone intending to profit from the venture. While new farm implements such as inorganic fertilizers, different types of modern tractors and machinery as well as varied types of pesticides may characterize some of the handson aspects of modern agriculture, it is the behind-the-scenes, invisible forces of software and technology that are making the biggest differences in agribusiness. From improving crop yields and eliminating waste through precision agriculture, to accurately projecting ideal herd sizes and health though modern animal husbandry software, technology has firmly instilled itself in modern agribusiness and will continue to develop as demand and solutions evolve.


Technology Adoption in Agriculture Technology has impacted different aspects of agriculture. From the use of chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer to the improvement of seeds for growing, research continues to play a central role. Scientific techniques such as genetic engineering have allowed agriculture to take steps previously thought to be impossible. For example, different genetic strains have been introduced in crops and animals to either increase their productivity or increase their resistance to factors such as disease and drought. Technology adoption in agriculture has also led to the spread of agriculture to areas that would have been useless for farming without technology. New technology has led to the mechanization and automation of the agricultural production process, thereby increasing efficiency and output.


Cont‌ The adoption of technology has had a massive impact on modern agriculture, but the proliferation of some solutions has not permeated the industry as one would expect from such benefits being recorded. Ideal agriculture software is an investment that not only requires capital that many smaller operations can’t afford outright but also requires the necessary infrastructure of improved wireless connectivity to ensure sustained success. As greater investment in wireless infrastructure continues in rural areas, so too will the growth of tech solutions in the industry.


Use of Technology in Agriculture Farmers can apply technology in many ways and for many purposes on their farms. There is a wide range of agricultural technology from which to choose. GPS technology in automated sprayers can increase efficiency. Biotechnology has been key in developing superior seeds for greater crop productivity. AI and climate tracking applications are helping improve the planting and harvesting schedules for improved yields. Drone technology offers improved protection and caring for livestock as well as the ability to observe crop performance and potential soil erosion from the air. Even seed-to-sale technology can help farmers better track their produce and goods to ensure that rapid, less-costly recalls can occur if an issue is found with the harvest. The precision that modern technology provides helps make agricultural processes efficient, safe, profitable and environmentally sustainable.


Sourcing Agriculture Software and Services When it comes to sourcing software, it important for companies and farmers to find the solution that works best for them. Many off-the-shelf options are great, however, software is never one-sizefits-all and may not address every aspect of your business. It is for this reason that custom software development is an ideal solution . Custom software providers can develop solutions and agriculture software services to companies that meet their direct needs, and, more importantly, integrate with their current software suites. When determining providers, it is important to use a company that both understands the software needed and has specific expertise in agriculture software development services. Chetu is an ideal partner for software development services as they provide cost-effective, state-of-the-art solutions and possess industry-specific knowledge in the agriculture vertical from its twenty years of operation.
