Many UK farms have faced great uncertainty over the last few years, whether due to political changes or shifts in a turbulent marketplace. However, there are clear trends: data will play a larger role in farming, as what is often termed the “data revolution” progresses both in the UK and abroad.
The challenge, however, is that with so many different tools available on the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine which of these are not only functionally useful and valuable, but which will be relevant to the requirements of individual farmers.
Here are our thoughts on three predictions for data trends which will shape farming in 2020 and beyond:
- Integrating data with farming becomes second nature
- Greater insight will deliver greater efficiency on farms
- Precision farming continues to rise
