DIGITAL AGRICULTURE PRACTICES IN THE CONTEXT OF AGRICULTURE 4.0

Year 2017, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 186 - 193, 30.06.2017

Abstract

Purpose- Agricultural production is under heavy pressure based upon increasing
world population and significant changes in the climate. In this study, the
concept of digital agriculture practices and their effects on agricultural
productivity is discussed. An evaluation of current circumstance is made
through the cases of Doktar Inc. and Tarla.io which are digital agriculture
companies located in Turkey.

Methodology- This study has utilized case method to evaluate the current circumstance
of digital agriculture applications in Turkey. Since digital agriculture is an
area that is still in early development stage in Turkey, case method is one of
the most suitable methods. 11 open-ended questions and subsequent interviews
sent to Doktor Inc and Tarla.io General Managers via e-mail and answers are
evaluated with other collected data.

Findings- Digital agriculture applications are in the early development stage in
Turkey. The companies that are discussed in the paper have made meaningful
progress regarding raising awareness of farmers and other involved parts of
agriculture sector in Turkey. While the penetration of the two companies is
currently not enough both as volume and quantity, the applications used for
digital agriculture by them are parallel with the applications in developed
countries.







Conclusion- Digital
agriculture practices in Turkey have yet to be implemented in very limited, but
there are steps to be taken to acceleration. To develop digital farming in
Turkey, supports of government have strategic priorities. In this context, the
development of a digital agriculture action plan and supporting of this
strategy with related policies and implementations, like in the EU countries and
USA, will enable the expansion of agricultural production vision in Turkey.
Technopolis and incubation centers of universities will be able to transform
the accumulated scientific knowledge into initiatives and create a digital
agriculture-focused ecosystem.
