Digital agriculture refers to tools that digitally collect, store, analyze, and share electronic data and/or information along the agricultural value chain. Other definitions, such as those from the United Nations Project Breakthrough,[1] Cornell University,[2] and Purdue University,[3] also emphasize the role of digital technology in the optimization of food systems.
Sometimes known as “smart farming” or “e-agriculture,”[4] digital agriculture includes (but is not limited to) precision agriculture. Unlike precision agriculture, digital agriculture impacts the entire agri-food value chain — before, during, and after on-farm production.[5] Therefore, on-farm technologies, like yield mapping, GPS guidance systems, and variable-rate application, fall under the domain of precision agriculture and digital agriculture. On the other hand, digital technologies involved in e-commerce platforms, e-extension services, warehouse receipt systems, blockchain-enabled food traceability systems, tractor rental apps, etc. fall under the umbrella of digital agriculture but not precision agriculture.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of
the pictures aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a

Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform
are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because
I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a
good platform.
This is a topic which is close to my heart…
Cheers! Exactly where are your contact details though?
Hi there exceptional website! Does running a blog such as this
take a great deal of work? I have very little understanding of coding
but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions or tips for new blog
owners please share. I know this is off topic however I just needed to ask.
Thanks a lot!
First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to
ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how
you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost
simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or
tips? Cheers!
