Five Trends Shaping the Future of Farming

By Ryan Adams
 
The world of farming is changing every day. With each new app, trait, fertilizer and pesticide technology, farmers are becoming more efficient and productive. In the next few decades, industry experts from Syngenta expect many changes to take place and for the average farm operation to look different than it does today.
 
The opportunity for advancement in the future is huge. Examples include: learning how to remedy crop problems quickly through monitoring, breeding by design, creating the ‘ultimate’ trait stack that allows farmers to use whichever herbicide they want and how to create products for the local market, according to David Hollinrake, president of Syngenta Seeds.
