Digital farming is the use of technology by farmers to integrate financial and field level records for complete farm activity management. Digital farming enables the consistent application of methods of precision farming and smart farming, internal and external networking of the farm and used of web based data platforms together with big data analyses. Digital farming gives farmers access to timely valuable insights so that they can adopt best practices and manage farms more efficiently thus reducing losses and maximizing profits. Digital farming relies on having reliable high-speed internet connections, satellite imagery and mobile devices. This is because while digital agriculture is as nature as traditional farming, it fundamental relies on collecting, storing and analyzing data.Precision farming has only really developed at speed thanks to these broader technological developments that have allowed farming equipment to become more accurate and optimized for specific agriculture uses. As communication technology has progressed, farmers have increase production, maximized yields, reduce waste, cared for the environment, cut manual labor and eliminated unnecessary risk without acquiring new land of diversifying. Farmers no longer make as many decisions as they previously used to, now data and software make decisions, the farmers simply carry them out. Connectivity is key in massive internet of things, lower power network and cheaper sensors will set the stage for the internet of things to scale up, enabling such use cases as precision irrigation of field crops, monitoring of large herds of livestock, and trucking of the use and performance of remote buildings and large fleets of machinery.
