🌱 The agricultural sector is witnessing transformative green farming practices, with precision agriculture and data-driven sustainability taking centre stage.
Some key developments we’ve seen include ⤵️
🔹 Climate Smart Program (2025): 53 farms across four states reduced 50,000 tons of CO₂ equivalents by adopting sustainable practices like reduced tillage and cover cropping, with outcomes quantified through advanced metrics.
🔹 Agrivoltaics in Riverside, CA: The Northside Agriculture Innovation Center combines solar energy with climate-resilient farming, using solar panels above fields to boost renewable energy and crop efficiency.
🔹 AI-Powered Disease Detection: Companies like Kubota showcased AI systems at CES 2025 that identify crop diseases and pests, enabling targeted spraying to minimize chemical use.
🖥️ High-resolution soil data plays a crucial role in supporting these innovations.
Advanced soil mapping technologies enable farmers to ⤵️
🔹 Optimize inputs (fertilizers, water) with variable-rate applications, reducing waste and emissions.
🔹 Validate the environmental impact of practices like no-till farming or cover cropping through quantifiable soil
health metrics.
🔹 Support AI-driven precision tools with granular field data, enhancing decision-making for sustainable yield gains.
We're very excited to see how these innovations continue in the years to come! What AgTech innovation excites you most?
