Climate and regulation: a race against time
Extreme weather conditions, such as drought and heavy rainfall, not only threaten harvests but make traditional farming methods increasingly unreliable. At the same time, European directives, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), impose stricter requirements on farms. Farmers must report on their environmental impact, carbon emissions and resource use – a complex task that many companies cannot handle alone. Recent research shows that 80% are struggling to comply with new sustainability guidelines such as the CSRD.
Technology as key to the future
Where challenges accumulate, technology offers solutions. Data platforms enable smart use and digitization of data on crops, soil moisture and weather conditions. By using precision agriculture and data-driven decisions, growers can not only work more efficiently, but also meet increasingly stringent sustainability standards.
“The future of agriculture is not just about survival, but about creating new opportunities,” says Corné Braber, CEO at AppsforAgri. “Companies that embrace technology and sustainability not only remain relevant, but also lead the way in an industry that is rapidly changing.”
From challenges to opportunities
While the changes in the agricultural sector can seem overwhelming, the right approach offers opportunities to optimize processes, cut costs and comply with regulations at the same time. Companies that have already embraced technological solutions are showing that sustainable innovation is not only necessary, but can be profitable. Solutions that count: technology as a game changer
