Agri 4.0 (Digital) Flashcards
is the integration of precision farming and smart farming and is achieved through the implementation of intelligent software and hardware
Digital farming
Technologies used for digital farming
➢Sensors
➢Drones
➢precision irrigation systems
➢GPS-guided machinery and data analytics
➢machine learning tools
recognizes digital transformation as a key strategy to achieve a stable
rice supply, high farm productivity, and increased income for rice farmers. By embracing precision farming enabled by drones, remote
sensing and IoT devices, and data-driven decision-making through farm management systems, weather forecasts, and access to market information, farming communities can enhance productivity, resource
management, and sustainability.
MASAGANA Rice Industry Development Program 2023-2028
has already been adopted in
the Philippines, as encouraged by the DA. Some
ways farmers have been doing this is through
aquaponics, growing climate-resilient rice,
adopting sloping agricultural land technology,
harvesting rainwater for the dry season, and agro-reforestation.
Climate-smart farming
plays a pivotal role in optimizing resource use by
leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and sustainability in
farming.
Precision Agriculture and Data Analytics
Satellite imagery platforms like Planet and Sentinel provide up-todate visuals of fields, enabling farmers to assess crop health, detect
anomalies, and plan interventions.
Crop Monitoring and Management
a critical component
for risk mitigation in agriculture. By incorporating advanced weather
prediction technologies into farm management systems, farmers can anticipate and respond to changing weather conditions.
Weather Forecasting and Risk Mitigation
play a crucial role in connecting farmers to the
broader agricultural supply chain. Through online marketplaces and farm management systems, farmers gain direct access to buyers, distributors, and other stakeholders.
Supply Chain Integration
platforms streamline the management of
seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides in agriculture. Farm management software and precision agriculture tools enable farmers to track inventory levels, monitor usage, and optimize
application rates.
Farm Management systems
Challenges of Filipino farmers?
- Financial Constraints
- Inadequate Post-Harvest Facilities
- Climate Change
- Limited Market Access
