DUBLIN, Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Opportunities for Sensors in Digital Farming" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Digital farming is a developing concept in the field of agriculture. Unlike conventional methods, where the farmer's decision making is based on his/her intuition, digital farming provides a quantitative suggestion. The data collected using various enabling technologies helps the farmers in recognising outlines, based on which strategic decisions can be made. Also, with the evolution of smartphones, and Internet-of-Things (IoT), members of the agricultural value chain can assess the data collected from the farms in their smart devices, thereby leading to connectivity and convergence.

Digital farming technologies facilitates the reduction in the amount of water and fertilizers utilized which decreases the operational expenditures and increases the return of investment even for small scale farmers.
