AgroTech

Written by Elena G. Popkova and colleagues, this volume builds a research and practical foundation for farming development centred on Agrotech, an approach that relies on artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things. The authors propose a new scientific framing of agriculture within this model, review and analyse how Agrotech has formed and expanded in different countries, and identify the sector's present problems along with ways Agrotech may address them.

The book sets out five strategic development priorities for Agrotech and the advantages of each. These are a shift toward extended reproduction to overcome global hunger and secure food supplies, the rise of climate-resilient farming to help agribusiness manage risk, the adoption of regenerative land use to raise the ecological efficiency of agriculture, the creation of high-performance jobs alongside greater agribusiness responsibility, and the growth of autonomous agricultural production so that countries with harsh growing conditions can still ensure food security.

Practical recommendations are aimed at agribusiness companies and government bodies that oversee the agricultural economy. A special chapter considers legislative and regulatory questions for Agrotech in both developed and developing countries, adding applied solutions to the business guidance and discussing how state and legal regulation of the field might work.
