Significant changes have occurred in agriculture over the past fifty years. The broader, faster, and more productive farm machinery made possible by technical improvements has allowed farmers to more efficiently cultivate larger regions.

Increased harvests are also the result of greatly better crop varieties, irrigation systems, and chemical fertilisers. With $6.7 billion investment in farm technology in the last five years, the next generation of digital transformation is just beginning. Future advances in AI, computing, integrated devices, and many other areas have the potential to increase yields, enhance the efficiency of irrigation as well as other inputs, and promote the resiliency and long-term sustainability of both agricultural cultivation and livestock husbandry.
