What benefits can precision agriculture benefit farmers in the era of big data?

On the eve of the arrival of the agricultural 4.0 era, the three major elements of agricultural production in China have quietly changed. The traditional image of farmers has been abandoned, and the rural labor force has been turned into "new farmers on the internet" by scientific and technological forces. Their new agricultural big data platform tool can monitor data such as soil, weather and crops at any time.

Predict the future and help farmers make choices. Precision agriculture is one of the most commonly used fields of big data in agriculture. In precision agriculture, the control center collects and processes data in real time to help farmers make the most informed decisions when sowing, fertilizing and harvesting crops.

The application of big data in agriculture has the following points:

1. Big data accelerates crop breeding.

Traditional agriculture is often costly, requires a lot of work, and takes ten years or more. Big data has accelerated this process.

2. Data-driven precision agricultural operations

Agriculture is very complicated, and various factors such as crops, soil, climate and human activities interact with each other. By choosing different crop varieties, production inputs and environments, growers can conduct field plot experiments under hundreds of farmland, soil and climate conditions to accurately match crop varieties with plots.

3. Big data realizes the traceability of agricultural products

Tracking the process of agricultural products from farmland to consumers is helpful to prevent diseases, reduce pollution and increase profits. As the global supply chain becomes longer and longer, the tracking and monitoring of agricultural products becomes more and more important. Big data can improve the operation quality of warehouse storage and retail stores.

4. Big data reorganizes the supply chain

Large agricultural enterprises have a lot of R&D funds and mechanisms, which makes it easier for them to develop new products by using complex technologies.

Whoever can seize this opportunity will have the initiative in the market. Just as Google has changed many industries, taxi software has also changed the way people travel.
