Digital agriculture, a type of AgTech, uses new technologies and digital tools that enable farmers to monitor and optimize agricultural inputs, manage their value chain more effectively, and improve agricultural productivity. These technologies range from real-time data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and precision ag tools to automated machinery and robotics.
The history of digital agriculture can be traced back to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), connectivity, and big data in the late 20th century. These technological advancements introduced a new era in the agricultural sector, one that is defined by using data to drive decision-making and enhance agricultural systems.
