ICT Systems for Farmers

Challenges

Modern day farming is inseparable from systematic information and process management. However, at the present moment, information relevant to the efficient farming processes, such as field soil composition specifications, satellite orthophotography and multispectral spectrometry, is only available through limited individual channels and portals that aren’t adapted for the purposes of ordinary farmers.

It is apparent that the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is still not fully realized in the agriculture field. Farmers lack specialized tools with integrated open-source information resources that could assist them in more efficient monitoring and planning of farm operation, store information on cultivated fields and conduct effective crop fertilization.
