Data management and analysis are key in allowing the agriculture sector to facilitate change when transitioning to a low-carbon economy and meeting net-zero targets. Using farm-level data to support decisions will ensure farmers and farm workers are positioned to make decisions to optimize yields and outputs for their specific situation. Digitization of agriculture data is a key factor for the sector going forward and how that data is used and interpreted will affect productivity, competitiveness, profitability, traceability and application of inputs.
