The Future of Agriculture

batuhan — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 09:23:12 +0000

The future of agriculture is significant to provide quality food to the growing global population and the people’s needs. For this reason, one of the most curious questions is how the future of agriculture, how technology will direct the future of agriculture, how will sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry be. In this article, we will be talking about the future of agriculture.

The Future of Agriculture Innovation and Automation

As the food and agriculture sector grows and develops, we will see more innovation and technology in every step of agriculture. Although there is no 100% turn now, robotics and artificial intelligence will facilitate agriculture in the future. These modern technology applications will also make agricultural management systems more efficient and productive.

What are the smart systems we can see in agricultural modernization?

Robotic farming vehicles
Insemination made by smart machines
Drone tracking and management in agriculture
Using smart sensors
Use of computers with deep learning algorithms
Soil, plant data collection systems
Smart collars that increase livestock and milk yield

In particular, the use of drones in agriculture helps with detailed tracking, which we call precision agriculture. Drone tracking facilitates steps such as irrigation and maintenance by allowing aerial view of agricultural land. Details that are missed by farmers can be noticed and resolved immediately by the drone.

The main purpose of all these foreseen techniques is to facilitate agricultural management in technology and mechanization, increase efficiency, prevent waste, increase productivity, and do this without harming the environment. Modern farming systems are the key to coping with declining fertile farmland and increasing population.

Sustainability in Future Agriculture

The agricultural sector is vital for the continuity of our life well. In our future, the importance of agriculture will increase even more. Sustainability is also an essential step in the future of agriculture. Systems that conserve natural resources, precision farming techniques, sustainable analysis, and data collection are factors shaping the future agriculture model. Our most important assistant in dealing with climate changes and the rapid depletion of natural resources is sustainable agriculture!

With sustainable agricultural practices, famine and waste decrease, and we do not harm the environment during our needs for clean food. For example, it is possible in the future that agricultural machines that pollute the air and soil will be replaced by farming machines that do not harm nature. Organic farming products that did not harm living things and nature and produced without using any synthetic and chemical products may increase in the future. Therefore, we will see more about sustainable agriculture with decreasing resources and increasing demand.

As Konsept Tarim, we anticipate the future challenges and advantages of agriculture with our modern, sustainable, and efficient farming approach and adapt our management system to this in the best possible way. We follow the benefits of modern agriculture for the future to obtain the most efficient end product. Therefore, Turkey is raising our productive land in many agricultural products; walnuts, almonds, olives, lavenders. Also, we provide both an investment model for you.

Agricultural Forestry and its Importance in Agriculture

Agriculture is a whole system, each step of which must be considered in detail. A good ecosystem can provide advantages to farmland in every respect by various sustainable agricultural practices. Agroforestry is one of these practices.

Agricultural forestry is the use of trees in farmland and the creation of an ecosystem in these areas. It is based on harmonizing and combining the nutritional needs of humans with the requirements of nature. In this ecosystem, agricultural products, livestock, trees, plants are all found on the same agricultural land. These trees and shrubs are an integral component of productive agriculture. It is promising for land and crops in large farms in the face of climate change.

What are the Benefits of Agroforestry to Agricultural Land?

Agroforestry increases biodiversity and soil quality. It allows the soil to capture carbon and thus contributes to the recovery of the soil. It controls soil erosion and thus prevents losses in nutrients. Increases soil fertility by increasing organic matter.
Trees used in agricultural forestry shade the planted agricultural products, block the wind and support agricultural products’ growth.
The animals in the farmland graze under the trees, provide shade and shelter for animals, and provide them with feed. Animals enrich the soil.

Agricultural forest trees provide additional income to the farm by giving fruit and vegetables. It also contributes economically with its use, such as food, feed, timber, construction materials. Thus, it helps to reduce efforts such as production and time on the farm.
Trees are like home for different animal species. It contributes to the diversity of species in the ecosystem.
Agricultural forestry activities and planted trees on agricultural farms offer many benefits to the environment, wildlife, and nature without any extra cost.

The Best Practices in Sustainable Agriculture

motasem — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 18:26:38 +0000

Sustainable agriculture is a system where we obtain high-quality food sufficient for the world population at affordable costs and by the ecosystem by protecting natural resources. What is important in a sustainable food system is that all people’s needs are met, resources such as energy and water are preserved, and local producers are supported at the same time. It is a system that gives importance to ecology. While we eat clean food, we also create a supportive relationship between farmers by protecting nature. People will give more priority to ecology, and so they waste less resources with this understanding. The practices we have listed below are ecologically essential sustainable agricultural practices that we utilize at our Konsept Tarım farmlands.

1. Crop Diversity
While we apply sustainable farming methods, commonly practiced is to plant different varieties of one species. Farming a land with more than one type makes the crop stronger as there is more genetic diversity. At the same time, we need less pesticides due to this variety.

1. Fertile Land
We provide the nutrients required for efficient crops thanks to quality soil. Processes and practices such as plowing, rolling, and aeration ensure success in obtaining fertile soil. Adding organic materials, fertilizers, wood ash, etc., increases soil fertility. Using natural materials instead of artificial ingredients is better for crops as well as for soil fertility.

3. Natural Animal Farming

In addition to sustainable agriculture, sustainable animal husbandry is also significant to us. We care about animal welfare as well as the living environment of animals. The sheep and chickens we raise naturally without stress. In particular, the chicken’s natural wandering and feeding with sunlight affect egg quality. The best part of sustainable animal husbandry is that the animals do not stay indoors; the eggs are tastier and more delicious in terms of minerals and vitamins. Moreover, grazing animals on the land enriches the soil. Animal manure helps to complete the natural nutrient cycle by returning nutrients to the soil again.

1. Agroforestry Practices
Agroforestry is the growth of trees and plants in the same farmland. Agroforestry is essential for both sustainable agriculture and efficient land use. One of the agricultural forestry benefits is that trees create a favorable microclimate that maintains the proper temperature and soil moisture while protecting crops from wind or heavy rain. Vegetation stabilizes the soil and improves the soil structure. Thus, Agroforestry, one of the sustainable farming practices we use most, provides us many benefits!

1. Technology and Teamwork
Farm technologies are generally used for sustainable agriculture practices. For sure, these technologies should also be cost-effective. While using the modern facilities provided by technology, the machines should be practical and environmentally friendly.

In addition to these modern technologies, we do sustainable agriculture with our expert team’s high motivation, planning, and ecological approaches. We always believe in our team’s power to work in harmony!

Sustainable agriculture can be briefly defined as eco-agriculture. The focus is not just on thinking about the economic assessment of the harvest but on the efficient use of non-renewable resources, growing better quality food crops, and improving the farmers' quality of life.
