In May 2023, Transforma Insights published a report, ‘Digital Transformation (DX) in the Agriculture sector’, which identified the key domains of change in the agriculture sector that are triggered by the use of disruptive new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, which are often combined under the umbrella of digital transformation. The reasons for harnessing these emerging technologies are largely focused on driving more efficiency in agricultural production, reducing costs and making more efficient use of resources, write Suruchi Dhingra, the research manager, and Joydeep Bhattacharyya, a content editor at Transforma Insights. These technologies also have the effect of substantially reducing the environmental impact of agriculture.

An IoT connectivity platform is an essential part of infrastructure for the communication, management and operation of devices. Connectivity platforms provide the necessary tools and services to connect devices, process data and integrate with other systems. Without connectivity platforms, IoT solutions struggle to be deployed and scaled.
