Advanced Farming is the modern methodology which involves the use of innovative solutions in crop cultivation, increasing profitability, reducing labor time, and others

 

Advanced Farming

Agriculture is a major input for creating products that people use every day. Livestock production includes domestic cattle; poultry production, sheep and goat production and tree plantation. The livestock sector includes cattle, calves, goats, fish, and poultry. As food prices continue to rise, demand for animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs is projected to grow tremendously over the next few years. Innovative strategies that address issues such as water, energy, nutrition, soil quality and the management of biological pest infestations will provide farmers with a competitive edge in advanced farming.

One of the key drivers of food prices is the increased use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture. These chemicals are used both on crops and weeds to increase the production of individual crops or to control weeds in the field. Many of these pesticides have been banned or postponed in some places due to the negative environmental and health impacts they have upon humans. Other techniques that are being explored for addressing issues of water, soil quality and the management of biological pest infestation are being adopted worldwide. New technologies for crop protection are developing at an ever-increasing pace and are expected to form the basis of advanced farming adoption. For instance, in September 2021, a Canadian company focused on biotechnology, ITOCO Inc., broadened the land area of its Nopal Cactus Plantations initiative by acquiring an additional 436 hectares to its previous purchase of 1,450 hectares in Hidalgo State, Mexico.

Climate change is another major challenge farmers and ranchers involved in advanced farming around the world face. Temperature changes and extreme weather events can lead to diminished crop production and increased prices in the agricultural sector. Biomass production can help to reduce the impact of climate change on agricultural production by using materials that naturally break down in harsh weather conditions. Biomass stoves, for instance, convert wood and paper into fuel that is highly flexible, durable, and clean burning. Remotely monitor and act upon crop production data using sophisticated machinery that is now affordable to most farmers.
