Industry 4.0 digital technologies in agribusiness will enable traditional farming systems to migrate to Agriculture 4.0. Open innovation emerges as an enabler for implementing these technologies and increased sector competitiveness. However, there are still doubts and questions about how technologies and open innovation relate to and will drive Agriculture 4.0. This study identified which digital technologies of Industry 4.0 have more adherence to agribusiness, what the barriers and facilitators for using these technologies are, and how open innovation can increase the competitiveness of agribusiness. https://lnkd.in/gV9A53NX

This Conference will showcase the work which all the partners in this project have been doing since spring 2023 to enable the UK to decarbonise agriculture through a greater adoption of UK produced pulses and legumes, how to do it and how our food supply chains need to evolve to enable this transition.

Quantifying the benefits of pulses for agriculture is a major outcome of the NCS Project, to be shared at From Soya to Sustainability on January 22nd. “By increasing UK production of pulses and reducing dependency on imported soya and soyabean meal, we can reduce our carbon emissions, while realising a raft of other benefits for livestock and arable farmers," says Tom Allen-Stevens, Founder of British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN) “But success will require joint effort across the supply chain. I’m looking forward to the conference and the opportunity to discuss how we can take collective action.” Read more > https://lnkd.in/ed8V6a_5 Book your ticket now > https://lnkd.in/etVFPn8n McArthur BDC Processors and Growers Research Organisation Farm Carbon Toolkit ADAS Wessex Water Kelvin Cave Limited Agrii The James Hutton Institute SRUC LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) Innovate UK Cranfield University AB Agri PBL Technology The GWCT Allerton Project

Innovation challenge in rural Areas "A significant barrier to farmers' acceptance of innovation is their skepticism towards extension services. To advance contemporary agriculture, we need to establish trust and credibility with farmers, demonstrating the benefits of innovation and winning their confidence before introducing new technologies or methods. we are here to convince our great farmers

Technology has brought about revolutionary changes to the agriculture industry. As highlighted in the Crop Life article titled "How Sense and Act Technology Changes Precision Helping Provide Long-Term Efficiency and Sustainability," the agricultural sector has witnessed significant transformation through the adoption of new AgTech solutions. This shift is crucial in addressing the challenge of feeding a growing global population. Key benefits of our Raven Industries Sense & Act technology: 🌱 Strategic Efficiency: It avoids guesswork and operates strategically, resulting in reduced waste and maximized resource utilization. 🌱 Precision in Practice: It emphasizes targeted interventions for more effective resource application at up to 138 ft or 42 m in width. 🌱 Optimized Crop Health: It ensures crops receive the necessary resources for healthier plants and improved yields. 🌱 Sustainability: It promotes responsible resource management, reducing environmental impact.

2025 Agriculture Innovation Trends A new year always brings a feeling of hope. After a down year in the agriculture cycle, a little hope could go a long way. As 2025 approaches with a new administration coming onboard in the U.S., ongoing international conflicts and a global down-economy, many factors will influence 2025. While the AgriThority® team sees some of the same trends from prior years, they also have identified many emerging trends that could improve the outlook for agriculture innovation in 2025. 

For growers utilizing controlled environments like greenhouses, optimizing light, heat, and other inputs is critical for crop success. ARS researchers have developed an innovation tool that provides precise insights, leading to healthier plants and improved yields. This advancement promises to enhance sustainable farming practices and drive productivity in the agricultural sector. https://loom.ly/Jq-4Tf0

The future of Agriculture is in hands of youth when technology meet their innovative mind.

Agriculture in Africa faces challenges like unpredictable weather that significantly affect production output. Experts, however, say technology and innovation have the potential to transform the sector.

This is a rolling cultivator. It is used to manage weeds (unwanted plants) in our potatoes. Rotating fingers shallowly disturb the soil to displace weed seedlings (there is always a trade off). This cultivator is older than me. This was very common 50 years ago in Potato production. It amazes me to see the wisdom and knowledge that prior generations had in regards to crop cultivation before the introduction of agrochemicals. Weed pressure here is very little due to a 14 species cover crop mix and grazing that was done prior to planting potatoes. I get excited about regenerative agriculture when we consider using the age old wisdom of prior generations and coupling it with today’s knowledge and advances in technology!
