Growing focus on increasing the quantity of yield has led to the indiscriminate use of fertilizers in agriculture. This can result in both environmental and agricultural catastrophes by degrading the quality of the soil. According to a report by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), natural resources such as water and arable land are on the verge of exhaustion. Furthermore, degradation at a high rate continues due to intensive urbanization and excessive use of chemical fertilizers. Thus, the declining nutritional quality of food and degraded quality of soil continues to drive a gradual shift toward nanotechnology in agriculture. Nano fertilizers remains an ideal prospect to maintain the quality of soil while meeting production target.

The use of nano fertilizers can help in reducing chemical fertilizer consumption by 80 to 100 times, thus reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers. For instance, the demand for nano urea is increasing worldwide as it has the ability to replace regular urea usage at a relatively lower cost while offering high yields to crops. By 2023 nano urea is expected to replace the usage of 13.7 million tons of conventional urea. Thus, the huge demand for nano fertilizer from the agriculture industry along with supportive government policies continues to promote newer and more efficient agriculture techniques.

The importance of policy framework remains paramount to promote sustainable growth, and such framework is already in place for nano fertilizers in key regions. For instance, U.S department of agriculture in 2020 announced to make USD 250 million investment through its new grant program. This initiative was taken to support new innovative and more efficient fertilizer production in the region. Additionally, USDA seeks growth in competition as it aims to allay concerns regarding supply chain. With its new initiatives, the USDA continues to introduce more transparency for consumers to make them aware of the safety of agriculture produce. These initiatives aimed at gauging the use of fertilizers, seeds, retail markets, continue to generate momentum for the eco-friendly and high-yield promising nano fertilizers.

Sara Benlafqih (photo) is a Moroccan industrial management engineer. She is also the CEO and one of the co-founders of agritech startup BMTA&C which develops innovative solutions to challenges like access to energy and food insecurity. 

Through BMTA&C, she created a storage unit to help farmers extend the shelf life of their crops from 2 to 20 days. The unit uses a solar cooling system to help smallholder farmers in remote areas reduce crop losses in Morocco and the sub-region. 

The said unit was inspired by a discovery Sara made during an academic internship. Indeed, she found out that farmers used to lose almost one-third of their harvest yearly just because they had no storage facility. The storage unit she created can now store up to six tons of fruit and vegetables without using coolants, which are harmful to the environment.

History of the potato

I absolutely love eating potatoes in many forms, french fries, mashed, baked, potato- pancakes even hashbrowns or chips occasionally. The beginning of potatoes started in South America (southern Peru) & (Northwestern Bolivia). Potatoes date back to 800-500 BC (Wikipedia,2024).  

Intervened with technology and/or selective breeding (genetics) to cultivate this product: “The fusion of Smart Agriculture with potato genetics is driving a new era of agricultural innovation, promising improved yields, disease resistance, and sustainability” (Tarigan, 2024).  Traditional breeding has been used to help enhance things such as disease resistance, size and yield. The use of modern Intervention with genetic technologies have accelerated progress. (Tarigan,2024). Some of the genetics in potato farming include genomic selection, genetic modification and CRISPR Technology.  

Efforts to preserve the potato in modern times “Scientists and leaders of Indigenous communities in the region have launched a drive to reintroduce the drought-resistant tuber, known scientifically as the Solanum jamesii, as a possible food solution for people hit by impacts of climate change” (Bitsoi, 2021).

Effective Inventory Control: Strategies for Managing Multi-Location Inventory

Effective inventory control in agriculture can increase a farm's output and financial success. Inventory tracking gets more difficult as farming activities spread out across several areas. Agritech companies and farm management platforms fill this gap by providing reliable inventory control solutions.

However, how precisely can these solutions provide seamless operations and increased efficiency by assisting you in visualizing and tracking your inventory across many sites? Let us examine it more closely.

Visualising Multi-Location Inventory Ever wonder how difficult it is to keep track of inventory at different farm locations? Since every location has its own supplies, machinery, and produce, thorough tracking is crucial. Real-time monitoring of inputs, equipment, and harvested crops is made possible by digital farm management system, which provide an advanced solution. Imagine knowing that everything is in order and having access to all your resources in one location. Predictive analytics, automated stock updates, and geotagging are examples of advanced features that simplify inventory management, optimize resource allocation, and cut down on waste. Centralised Dashboard Consider a dashboard that displays a bird's-eye perspective of your whole AgriTech portfolio. With a few clicks, you can view detailed stock levels at each location, discover items that are running low, and detect excess inventory. This overview prepares you to make quick, informed judgments. For example, if one farm is low on fertilisers, you may easily locate another with a surplus and arrange a trade. The ability to view your inventory across several locations reduces guesswork and improves operational efficiency. Real-Time Updates Have you ever considered how much easier and more efficient things would be if you had real-time data at your fingertips? Real-time updates can contribute to more efficient inventory management. Agritech platforms provide seamless real-time updates, guaranteeing that your inventory insights are always current and correct. This enables you to monitor and alter inventory levels as they fluctuate, addressing supply chain concerns quickly. Real-time visibility aids in the maintenance of ideal stock levels while mitigating hazards such as stockouts and excess inventory. Consider having features like automated replenishment algorithms and predictive analytics. Wouldn't it be useful in increasing operating efficiency and lowering costs? Inventory Categorisation There is much more to good inventory management than simply keeping track of everything. It is also important to have a good organisation. Agritech solutions allow you to categorize inventories based on type, geographic location, utilization, and other factors. A structured inventory framework enhances operational efficiency when handling seeds, fertilizer, machinery, or harvested yields. Advanced categorization approaches can improve supply chain operations, cut waste, and ensure regulatory compliance. This not only improves day-to-day operations but also encourages sustainable agriculture practices.

Transforming Inventory Management with Agritech Solutions Can you imagine how the agricultural technology you integrate can perform certain actions to your inventory? Decentralized systems are, therefore, key to managing inventory flow in various locations to avoid losses and make the flow as efficient as possible. That said, let us now explore how different innovative AgriTech systems can enable this change. Keeping an Eye on Your Inventory Consider always having complete visibility into your inventory's position. Advanced AgriTech solutions provide extensive tracking capabilities, allowing you to monitor the flow of goods from origin to destination. You can now track delivery timings, arrival updates, and transfer durations directly through the platform, eliminating the need to worry about differences during transit. This type of real-time insight improves operational efficiency and increases production. Proactive Management with Automated Alerts Picture this: You are preoccupied with daily operations when you receive an alert concerning severely low pesticide levels at one of your fields. Automated notifications are game changers for inventory management. By specifying unique thresholds for agricultural inputs, the system can provide instant notifications when inventory levels fall below certain limits. This proactive strategy enables you to control shortages before they become an issue, resulting in seamless operations. Power of Detailed Reporting Data is extremely useful, particularly for inventory management. Leading AgriTech platforms include sophisticated reporting capabilities, giving essential insights into inventory usage trends and movement dynamics. Imagine being able to spot inefficiencies and identify areas for improvement. For example, if you see increased fertilizer usage in each place, you may want to explore and make strategic changes to improve distribution efficiency.
