Predictive models for smarter agriculture

Predictive models help guide more assertive decisions in crop protection. By using field data and environmental variables, these tools guide input use with greater precision avoiding excess and improving operational performance. 

They are part of a broader shift toward more data-informed, efficient agriculture. 

Data-driven decisions in crop protection

Predictive models process climate data, soil conditions and crop growth patterns to determine the exact moment and quantity of crop products needed. This reduces unnecessary applications, increases cost-efficiency and minimizes risks to the ecosystem. 

Aligned with precision agriculture

Predictive technologies complement precision farming by providing real-time insights that guide input use according to specific field conditions. They support targeted actions that improve consistency, reduce waste, and promote better resource management across every plot. 

Sustainability in practice

By using predictive models to minimize chemical use, agricultural operations reduce emissions, avoid water and soil contamination, and protect biodiversity. This supports environmental goals while meeting global market expectations for responsible sourcing.

Predictive models are a strategic shift toward smarter, more sustainable farming. By combining data, technology and environmental stewardship, they help build a future where productivity and responsibility grow side by side. 

 

Climate risk management in agriculture: a regenerative approach

Extreme weather, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss are reshaping agriculture. To maintain productivity in the long run, farmers are turning to regenerative practices that build resilience from the ground up.

Soil: the foundation of productive farming

Healthy soil retains water, stores nutrients, and supports plant growth. Regenerative practices like cover cropping and minimal disturbance boost fertility while reducing drought and rain impact.

  • Improved water absorption helps crops in dry spells.
  • Organic matter supports microbes and enriches fertility.
  • Reduced tillage prevents erosion, keeping nutrients intact.

Biodiversity: a key factor for climate adaptation

Integrating plant diversity and maintaining natural habitats brings multiple benefits to farms, aligning with the goal of 37% climate mitigation by 2030:

  • Increases natural pollination, reducing reliance on external inputs.
  • Strengthens pest resistance, minimizing chemical dependency.
  • Promotes healthier crops, leading to better harvests over time, contributing to climate resilience and reducing climate change impacts on agricultural ecosystems.

Agriculture is evolving, and regenerative practices are playing a key role in adapting to climate risks. Want to know more? Let’s discuss how these strategies can apply to different crops.
