World population, as reported in June 2018, is a staggering 7.6 billion. It is estimated that this number will rise to 8.5 billion by 2030. With the rapid growth in world population, food consumption worldwide also grows rapidly. A rapid escalation in food production to cater to the growing demand is not an easy task. Agriculture being the oldest industry has evolved so far to the age of what can now be termed as The Third Green Revolution. The world is witnessing yet another fundamental modification with the wake of a new industrial revolution that employs application of modern Information and Communication Technologies into agriculture, in order to deliver a sustainable agricultural production.

Sensors support an instant integration of the physical world into electronically-based systems, resulting in effectiveness and reduced human labour. It stands to monitor the productivity of different farm areas and secure resolutions swiftly. It also helps in minimizing the risk and waste that can possibly obstruct the productivity of the yield by exchanging the vital information to the systems connected. The aggregated information is communicated to the farmer and to the other systems connected by the sensors in the field for further critical administration.

Agricultural know-hows are advanced to proliferate production, resolve the biological and socio-economic constraints that are related to the crop production mechanisms. In the course of the past three decades, an increasing realization has resurfaced with requirement of technology to be tailored in order to cater the convenience of farmers, workforces around the agricultural arena and the sustainability objectives. In order for agronomic technologies to serve the need of the masses, employment of advanced analysis to provide for best-fit resolutions is required. Continue Reading ->
The safeguard of life insinuations is substantial, and the money-making halts immeasurable. It has become just as evident that Healthcare IoT is a prodigious opportunity for software corporations with the global healthcare IoT market escalating to 163.2 billion USD by 2020. Numerous products already exist in the market that endlessly monitor heart function and blood glucose which enables comfortable remote administration for caretakers and clinicians.

As digital connectivity spreads to rural areas, smartphones are helping small farmers in poor countries access data on crops, weather and soil. It is helping them boost production in the face of climate change. According to a recent report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, small farmers who produce the bulk of food in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable to changes in climate. And here, technology can help to minimise crop disaster. Continue Reading ->
The Sudanese government has announced that consultations are underway to import farming equipment and remote sensing technologies from the United States.

While farmers have tractors and big machinery to aid them in their work, the industry remains one of the toughest and most strenuous when it comes to manual labor. Traditionally, the planting, maintaining and harvesting of crops take up time, energy, money, labor and resources. It doesn't come cheap, and it doesn't come easy. But, modern agriculture has started to see big changes. Farming operations are becoming increasingly sophisticated as they evolve with the developments of technology. Precision agriculture, using advanced technology and big data to improve crop production and practices, is seeing more efficient and educated farming procedures brought to life. For example, AI is set to reduce this high level of repetitive and physical work by developing different components to help make farms smarter and more efficient. Continue Reading ->
How do you see an agriculture and technology innovation forum or conference?
