Innovation and quality

Since the arrival of the coronavirus, there has been a greater demand for organic and healthy products. This is one of the trends that have been demonstrated by consumers when purchasing food. Users are now asking for a wider range of healthy and sustainable products.

For almost 20 years, the area of ​​innovation has increased with great force and more and more tools are emerging to allow work to be more efficient, less expensive and have a lower carbon footprint. Against this, agriculture 4.0 is based on the use of artificial intelligence for the collection and analysis of data on the field with the aim of improving the quality of crops and reducing impacts on the environment.

Modern technology

Drones, sensors, software, and other inventions that have been appearing, allow agricultural tasks to be carried out in less time and with better results. Its multiple functions allow you to save supplies, resources and time in a really demanding job.

This new trend promotes a new way of farming, based on the use of information. This information serves to produce more efficiently, with lower costs and achieving a greater quantity of feed.

What is sought is to produce enough food to feed the entire planet. All producers have within reach possibilities of improvement in their field, with more or less investment.

Sustainability

Today there are many companies that have begun to adapt to this new way of farming. The Ortomad company, for example, affirm that: “we respect the regulations of integrated pest management, with a limit of chemical residues of 70% lower than the values ​​allowed by law. We apply strict production standards for a product of absolute quality ”.

Thanks to the new methods used, the amount of chemicals applied unnecessarily decreases. Not only pesticides, but also fertilizers. By having clear information on where a large amount of these are not needed, you can avoid throwing out large amounts that will later be lost.
