SDI systems require intensive management and come with high initial costs of up to $1,000 /acre... Using SDI also has a positive effect on the environment through reduced nitrate leakage in the lower soil layers, unlike other irrigation systems... Hence, the optimizations that come along with SDI systems can end up leading to higher yields and reduced usage of herbicides... The system's average lifespan is 12 to 15 years, although some systems with continuous maintenance have reached up to 20 years... Smith and Riley (1992) [1] observed lower levels of corn earworm damage in crops with controlled irrigation...

In agribusiness, big data means collecting everything... The end goal of all this data aggregationCustomized recommendations are the end goal of aggregated data... As planter technology advances, we’re starting to sow entirely different seeds in different parts of the field to take advantage of the unique properties of the land... Now multiply that tenfold as suddenly you need to account for which fields need to be harvested first because of the performance of a particular seed that year, or having to load up three times as many bags of seeds because now each field has three different varieties. Data has become agribusiness' greatest asset and its Achilles heel...

Traditional agriculture and farming techniques have not been able to keep up with the growing consumer demand for healthy food nationally and globally. Driven by:Population growth and urbanization decreasing available arable land dedicated to agriculture Rising supply chain and energy costs Growing environmental concern about the use of pesticides for crop productionInsufficient water availability for crop production Limited growing seasons based on the traditional agriculture one-cycle production process Harsh and severe weather Political turmoil affecting agricultural trade Market fluctuations in agriculture prices and costs Market shocks from COVID 19 National and global demand for food, specifically healthy sustainably produced food will outpace supply. Short of innovation and technological advances to offset demand, the impact of increasing demand for healthy food places significant pressure on the Agricultural Industry to find viable solutions... agriculture has the responsibility to meet the growing demand by using natural resources more efficiently by thinking out-of-the-box...

It is our goal at FS6 to aggregate information and to identify the gaps in support; we need to work together to realign resources in support of those that are working to feed the American population and to help those that are focused on raising food locally, sustainably, and humanely to weather the challenging times ahead... → Needs support from: Upstream industry leaders, supply chain management, processors, distributors, industry organizations with visibility into supply/demand gaps, eCommerce experts, technology platforms that aggregate on-farm availability, Human Resources departments2) Cash flow:The need for cash-flow into the industry is crucial right now...

For a while, the work of many environmental groups, agencies and celebrities had been able to slow the unchecked destruction of forest land... The forest Code was first adopted in 1965 as a way to allow farmers to purchase and farm land in the Amazon with the caveat that they may only farm a small percentage of the land. However, with the limited governmental ability to oversee the development of an enormous dense forest just slightly smaller than the continent of Australia, it wasn’t a surprise to anyone when eager farmers and cattlemen started to illegally clear additional land. When this has happened in the past, huge fines have been levied against the offending parties as well as the requirement to return the cleared lands back to forest, making the risk not worth the potential consequences... According to Brazil’s space agency that tracks deforestation through satellite imaging, over 1,000 square miles (more than twice the size of Los Angeles) was cleared in the period of August 2012 to July 2013...
