After a first generalized focus on carbon and a second on biodiversity, it looks like water will be the next guest on the podium. A United Nations conference on water was held in New York at the end of March 2023 (the last one was held 50 years ago) to mark World Water Day. The Read more about Water management and digital technologies in agriculture[…]
A white paper to classify digital tools in agriculture 🤔 How do you categorize digital technologies in agriculture? To tell you the truth, it’s a bit of a puzzle. Categorizing 10, 20 or even 50 tools – that’s still okay, we get by. When you start to get to 500, 1000 or even 1500, it’s Read more about Towards a classification of digital tools in agriculture[…]
In 1913, Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch developed the Haber-Bosch process to industrialize the production of ammonia, which, in addition to its terrible use in the development of explosives during the First World War, was also used to synthesize nitrogen fertilizers for agricultural fertilization. For some, the massive use of nitrogen fertilizers will have saved Read more about The reasoning of nitrogen fertilization by digital tools: a rather fragile love affair[…]
Oh my god, we’re going to talk about robotics! Finally, an article where we can talk about technological innovation, agricultural (r)evolution – because the parenthesis around the “r” is super important – and the third way of agriculture! Yippee! So if this article doesn’t make the buzz, I don’t understand anything anymore! Too bad, spoiler Read more about Robotics in the field: where are we and where are we going?[…]
Missed the Aspexit infographics? In preparation for my next dossier on agricultural robotics, here are two infographics on the robotics ecosystem in agriculture Terrestrial robots in plant production Robots in animal production These infographics have been built from the tools available on the directory of digital tools for agricultural production. Come and contribute to this Read more about Panorama of agricultural robotics[…]
For most of us, insurance is not a very sexy subject to begin with; it makes many people cringe! I don’t know many people who enjoy contacting their insurer – except when something goes wrong – or dealing with their insurance contracts. But we still have a more or less close relationship with the insurance Read more about Agricultural weather insurance undergoing reform[…]
While La Tribune recently reported that French start-ups in the Agtech and Foodtech sector – meaning digital technologies applied to agriculture and agri-food – had raised no less than 560 million euros over the year 2020, putting France in first place in Europe and fifth place in the world in terms of investments, we now Read more about Agriculture & Digital: are we really going in the right direction?[…]
It is with great pleasure that we officially launch the first version of our free open-source platform that references digital tools in agriculture! We really enjoyed working on this platform and we tried to put our philosophy into it as much as possible. For those who have been able to accompany us in the past, Read more about Launch of our platform for referencing digital tools in agriculture[…]
The International Society for Precision Agriculture (ISPA), proposed a definition of Precision Agriculture in 2019 following exchanges between 45 scientists from around the world: “Precision Agriculture is a management strategy that collects, processes and analyzes spatial, temporal and individual data, and combines them with other information to guide adaptive management decisions related to the plant Read more about Reflecting on the carbon footprint of digital technologies in the AgTech and Precision Agriculture sectors[…]
Ah, Precision Agriculture! We hear about it all the time right now. Agriculture 4.0 (I don’t even know what number we’re at anymore), super precise machines, connected sensors….. Digital technologies and innovations create a buzz in agriculture (Note: Sprinkle it all with a little bit of Big Data, Deep Learning or Artificial Intelligence to shine Read more about Precision Agriculture in all intimacy[…]
