Digital farming
What is digital farming?
Digital farming is the integration of modern technologies, such as GPS and satellite imagery, to optimize agricultural outcomes.
Also known as precision agriculture or smart farming, the approach leverages data, technology, and analytics to improve farmers’ yields and crop quality.
Empowering growers to make data-driven decisions to increase their yields, this type of farming promotes sustainability as it helps farmers to use their resources more efficiently.
And it helps support their risk management activity - using digital tools to forewarn of extreme weather events means growers are better-prepared to farm in a changing climate.
How is Syngenta involved in digital farming?
As an agri-tech innovator, Syngenta promotes the development of digital farming and the role it plays in sustainably supporting growers to improve their productivity.
Strategic investments, acquisitions, and in-house development of cutting-edge technologies, such as the company's flagship Cropwise platform, have contributed to Syngenta becoming a leader in this space.
At Syngenta, we share what we know with our farmers – wherever they are. That’s why we take our lessons offline too, educating and empowering growers via in-person training programs in key agricultural areas.
As always, collaboration remains at the heart of what we do. That’s why we’ve joined forces with tech giants including Microsoft, Insilico Medicine, and Iteris to strengthen our digital offering for farmers.
And we’re helping to support the development of the next generation of digital changemakers too, through our venture capital arm, Syngenta Ventures.
Cropwise
Our global digital farming platform
We believe that using digital technology on the farm shouldn’t be complicated.
That’s why we set up Cropwise, our digital partner that supports farmers throughout the entire crop cycle – from planting to harvesting.
What growers can do with Cropwise?
Think of Cropwise as a digital farmhand. By leveraging advanced technologies, including remote sensing, data analytics, and AI, it empowers farmers to make data-driven decisions that improve their productivity and sustainability.
From planning and planting to monitoring and harvesting, it manages all the data farmers need to make informed choices - on one seamless, integrated platform.
And when it comes to measuring on-farm GHG emissions, Cropwise can help growers there, too. The platform’s tracks and measures progress across six outcomes, including water impact and biodiversity and habitat, to help growers meet their climate goals.
At Syngenta, we’re dedicated to investing in innovation that brings cutting-edge technology to your fingertips, through platforms such as Cropwise.
With digital innovation teams strategically placed across the globe in India, Brazil, the US, and Europe, we ensure that the farmer remains at the heart of our journey. Your success drives our innovation every step of the way.
What other digital services does Syngenta offer?
Our innovative tools go beyond our Cropwise platform, harnessing data to help farmers improve their soil health and reduce on-farm emissions.
For example, our Spiio™ platform provides turf and landscape managers with hourly soil data, allowing them to make timely decisions to care for the environment.
