Farm management information systems as tools for revealing management zones inside the fields

Abstract

There is a huge need to increase the productivity in agriculture to feed the world’s growing population. However, this increase needs to be achieved in a sustainable way, without jeopardising the ecosystem and environment. Innovations in AgTech are accelerating this process and providing adequate solutions for optimisation of on-field decision-making, but they are often isolated and inaccessible to the farmers. The objective of our work was to design a comprehensive farm management system that takes scientific achievements and enables farmers to use them in their daily operations.
