As the world’s population grows, so does the need for sustainable farming. According to the United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the world’s population is projected to be at 9.7 billion by 2050.

There are a number of solutions that improve the way agriculture is managed in order to keep up with the growing demand for food and commodities.
