Farming has worked differently since the Third Agricultural Revolution. It is driven by data, and is often referred to as “digital farming”. Agriculture 3.0 is characterised by the large-scale use of data to drive food production to levels that far outperform the two previous agricultural revolutions: mechanisation and genetic modification, respectively. Data produced by customised farming software products, weather stations, satellite imagery, leaf and soil samples, as well as irrigation systems, are measured and analysed to optimise yield, efficiency and profitability.
Matogen Applied Insights is a digital farming expert who works with agricultural
businesses to solve problems in efficiency, environmental impact,
production and profit. We leverage international best practices
from the fields of statistics and machine learning in synergy with
clients’ agricultural expertise to examine trends and impart
data-driven insights. This empowers our clients to make better
decisions towards more efficient farming practices, saving time
and money, as well as limiting wastage and reducing risk.
Undertakings within the farming industry include systems such as
dashboards, bots and electronic alerts for weather risk and crop
protection, spraying conditions, as well as plant disease image
recognition. In addition, the analysis of agricultural data
allowed for the identification of trends in growth phases,
nutrient deficiencies and irrigation. However, it is within the
realm of predictive analytics that Matogen Applied Insights’ unique approach and
cooperative capabilities position it favourably to contribute
towards the Third Agricultural Revolution. Completed forecasting
projects range from the prediction of crop disease risk and plant
nutrient deficiency, as well as optimal harvest date and
irrigation practices.
