As the world population stood at 7.7 billion in 2019, the pressure on the food and agriculture value chain to meet the global food demand is increasing with every passing day. With limited and continuously depleting natural resources and shrinking arable land due to urbanization, the need to optimize farm resources in order to produce agricultural commodities optimally is rising day by day.

In 2019, only 28.10% of the total employed population were working in the agricultural sectors. In comparison to 2000, the share has fallen drastically from the figure of 40.06%. To combat the problems related to rising food demand, leading technology providers are introducing innovative solutions in the farming arena. Technologies such as Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) help farmers interpret, analyze, and assess data to make smart farming decisions.
