Planting the seeds of Digital Agriculture

The world is rapidly changing, which means innovative farming approaches are more urgent than ever before. From climate change to increasing food and nutrition demands, the challenges we face require accurate data to enable smarter and more effective actions.

Offline becomes online: Digital agriculture innovations

Technology enables data-driven decision-making processes that support 'digital farming' activities. The challenge in agriculture, however, is synchronizing things that are traditionally 'offline' to digital ecosystems for innovative farming methods.

These connections, which you can read more about below, are the different ways in which we are continually innovating for our farmers and business partners to grow both their businesses and healthier food for the world.
