Climate Smart Agriculture Resilient Practices

Image
  FARMSIO  has developed innovative and digitalised  farm management software  using   Climate Smart Agriculture  for the benefit of the stakeholders in the food value chain. The technology for agricultural solutions are built on the premises of  sustainable agriculture  with a focus on conserving energy and resources in farming,  market linkages  for integrating the stakeholders on both down and upstream of the  food supply chain ,  food traceability  to optimise the input resources, quality and quantity of them used and above all the  climate-smart agriculture  adaptability and appropriate farming practices to thwart the risks.  The mitigation measures in the climatic risks are classified into: Cropping systems Livestock systems Forest systems Fisheries, aquaculture and oceanic systems and  Biodiversity. This blog has extensively used the well-researched inputs published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and acknowledges the yeomen services offered to humankind and nature holi

The Importance of Food Traceability in The Agro Industry

  Food Traceability  is the ability to trace and follow the food produced or processing that passed through all stages of production and distribution through the value chain. So is also called the ability to trace the history of various farm inputs applied to produce the product or the process it underwent during the production, packing, or supply chain.  “It is known that Food Traceability involves Identifying the origin of the food, ingredients applied and food source.” The essential role of Food Traceability  The role of food traceability is to maintain food safety. Traceability requires food producers to have sound, integrated systems in place to ensure effective controls, both in day-to-day operations but also in the case of a contamination or other safety issue. Food Traceability Food Trackability Traceability  – Traceability consists of two distinct components: tracking and tracing. Tracing creates a history of a product’s navigation throughout the entire food chain. Whether for

Top 6 Technologies in Agriculture for Yield Enhancements

Image
  In recent years, the adoption of  technologies in Agriculture  has been enabling the farmers to treat crops and manage fields more efficiently for a better yield.  Agriculture technology  has changed the way of farming and made it more profitable, efficient, safer, and simple. Among other popular  new agriculture technologies , farmers have picked the following 6  farming technologies  as the efficient systems: Remote Sensing Technologies Software Applications Communication Systems using ICT Telemetrics positioning technologies Hardware & Support System Data Analytics Solution for Agriculture As a result of adopting the  technologies in Agriculture , along with the large scale commercial farms the small, medium and marginal farm producers also get significant benefits from the ever-evolving  digital agriculture  systems.  These benefits include  Reduced consumption of water, nutrients, fertilizer. Reduced negative impact on the ecosystem & better efficiency. Reduced chemical
