Cultivating high performance in agribusiness Global shifts in health, wealth and population are moving the world from a period of abundance to scarcity. With demand for agricultural products projected to increase up to 100 percent by 20501, the agriculture industry can meet this growing demand three ways:

1. Put more land into production which has enormous environmental risks and goes against the Sustainable Development Goal2 of freezing the footprint of agriculture.

2. Reduce post-harvest loss. Recent advancements in technology improve the industry’s ability to mitigate post-harvest loss through connectivity and software that actively tracks, measures and monitors agricultural products in real-time helping moving them more efficiently through the supply chain.

3. Increase total factor productivity. Agribusinesses are challenged with increasing the amount of food grown per level of inputs in several ways – 1) science in the form of better seed or harvesting equipment or 2) tapping into data analytics tools as well as apps and other software services that provide real-time insight in the field for optimizing every aspect of the planting cycle. While science increases potential yield, utilizing custom software driven by connectivity, real-time data and sophisticated analytics helps maximize investment in better seed or equipment.

In fact, putting data harvested from across your business to work in the field as well as back on the farm is one of the fastest ways to improve yield, boost revenue and reduce risk.
