Crops

Crop production is the cornerstone of the agricultural industry and central to broader society, providing food and feed for consumption, and a range of ingredients and materials for other industries. As such, crop production plays a key role in addressing global challenges such as poverty, malnutrition, food security, and economic prosperity.

Ensuring the continued growth of the crop industry is crucial, and in recent years, the crop/agronomy industry has undergone transformative changes. Technological advancements such as automation and mechanisation have begun to replace traditionally labour-intensive practices, while developments in irrigation, soil management, plant genetics, and crop breeding have fostered more efficient and productive yields.
