How A Farm Can Be Digitally Transformed

Agriculture, if conducted properly, can make a nation self-sufficient in food. To this end, those in the industry have always invested in and adopted the latest technologies and industry best practices to ensure good yields, quality products, and reduce operational costs.

One trend that has been gaining rapid popularity is implementation of digital transformation in agriculture, as it streamlines the main processes like procurement of seeds, fertilizers, equipment, production, and distribution of agricultural produce including periodic and seasonal activities.

An efficient and scalable solution like Jirlie can help to improve the efficiency of operations, enhance traceability, track accounting and automate business processes and eliminate redundancies through its various modules and features.

Drones were a very powerful tool for farmers and agronomists to assess the health of their crops. With the use of drones, they can get an overview of their fields and collect data much faster and more efficiently than traditional methods. Drones will allow farmers to see how healthy their plants are, where they might need water or nutrients, and if there is any pest activity before it gets out of control.

Using AI and Data analytics, the system, with time, will learn how to do diagnostics and to identify if disease hits and will recommend all the tasks to be done and the time needed and may also take appropriate measures to eliminate the spread of sickness.

This approach helps farmers save money by enabling them to quickly identify problems that may have been missed in traditional farming and which could lead to hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of lost crops due to issues that were not caught early enough on the ground.
