Course Pitch
The Agribusiness sector is facing several challenges right from production to consumption. The challenges include food wastage, sustainability, the profitability of value chain players, food security, food safety, and so on.
Digital technological tools are becoming highly relevant in today’s agricultural value chains. They play a crucial role in enhancing decision-making capabilities and therefore contributing to improving the productivity, and profitability of all stakeholders. From farm to fork, these technologies enable the collection and synthesis of data, improving the decision-making capabilities of various players across the value chain.
To increase the feasibility of adopting these technologies, it’s essential to consider factors such as cost, ease of use, infrastructure, and the specific needs of each stakeholder.
Every stakeholder, whether directly or indirectly involved in agricultural value chains has to understand the dynamics of farm technology and the future evolution of agriculture. The following questions would act as a guideline to approach the adoption of technology for a specific context in the agribusiness value chains:
- What is the role of digital technologies in the agriculture decision-making process?
- How is Big Data and Digital agriculture related?
- What can be the key driver for the adoption of technology in agriculture?
- What is IoT and its role in smart agriculture?
- What is remote sensing and its role in smart agriculture?
- What is the value proposition of precision agriculture?
- What are the use cases for digital technology in production management?
- What are the use cases for digital technology in livestock management?
- What are the use cases for digital technology in storage management?
- What are the use cases for digital technology to improve the farmers’ access to inputs and buyers?
- Does adopting new farm technologies bring a competitive advantage for businesses?
This course provides the necessary clarity and confidence in approaching the relevance of digital technological innovations in agribusiness value chains
