Weather & Climate
Advances in digital technology provide tools to monitor, analyze, and predict conditions down to the paddock level. These technologies enable precise monitoring and prediction, enhancing decision-making.
Additionally, practicing Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) can increase productivity, enhance resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through techniques like crop diversification, conservation tillage, and improved water management.
With weather patterns shifting and increasingly variable conditions to contend with on-farm, it is now more important than ever to have accurate weather and climate information to support your on-farm decisions.
There have been significant advances in digital technology that provide tools and support that can monitor, analyse and predict conditions right down to the paddock.
There are a wide range of data producing products on the market, such as weather stations – which save you relying on commercial weather stations that can be located some distance away – soil moisture probes, and satellite and drone imagery.
The benefits of using digital technology for weather and climate management means farmers can monitor, analyse and predict conditions with ever-increasing precision.
You can also consider practicing Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), with the aim of increasing productivity, enhancing resilience, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Techniques include crop diversification, conservation tillage, and improved water management.
