The Future of Connected Agriculture
As the world population continues to rise, estimated to reach over 9 billion by 2050, the demand for food will escalate substantially.
The challenges of feeding a rapidly growing global population while addressing the impacts of climate change have spurred a call for innovative solutions in the agricultural sector. The “Connected Human Report: The Future of Connected Agriculture“ represents a collaborative effort, bringing together a diverse group of leading experts and academics to delve into the state of digitalization in agriculture and explore how Internet of Things (IoT) technology holds the potential to revolutionize the sector.
As the world population continues to rise, estimated to reach over 9 billion by 2050, the demand for food will escalate substantially. This surge in demand necessitates the transformation of conventional farming practices to meet the evolving needs of humanity sustainably. Moreover, the agricultural sector grapples with the formidable challenge of adapting to the shifting climate patterns, facing more frequent extreme weather events, water scarcity, and changing pest and disease patterns. Embracing digitalization and IoT technology presents a promising pathway towards achieving food security, ensuring the efficient use of resources, and enhancing resilience in the face of climate challenges.
This report examines the real state of Agrifood:
- The agri-technology sector has made significant strides in recent years, indicating a considerable level of maturity.
- Despite the promising growth of agri-technology, the sector encounters several challenges on its path to digital transformation.
- The importance of data in agriculture when traditional knowledge is no longer working in our climate change era.
- The next steps organisations in agri-food can take to realise the potential of IoT in this critical sector.
Bringing together expert opinions from Alicia Asín from Libelium, Edward Porter from IMS Evolve, and Prof. Dr. Dionysis Bochtis from farmB Digital Agriculture, this report examines how mature the agri-food sector currently is in its use of connected technology, the challenges faced by those attempting to digitally-transform the industry, the importance of data in agriculture, and the next steps organisations in agri-food can take to realise the potential of IoT in this critical sector.
