This IDC study provides an update on some of the most prominent use cases being adopted in the precision agriculture space. IDC has created a use case taxonomy for the digital transformation of multiple industry segments. The taxonomy follows a hierarchical structure that begins with the digital mission of that industry, then the strategic priorities that support that mission, the programs that will be initiated to satisfy the priorities, and the funded projects or use cases that will be implemented under these programs. The taxonomy not only forms the basis for our market forecasts but also provides the framework for the digital journey maps that will assist our clients in understanding the full scope of enterprise efforts."As the agriculture industry continues on the journey of digital transformation, more and more use cases of precision agriculture will appear and be adopted by users in agriculture. These technologies will help tackle one of the most pressing issues facing mankind: food shortage. Through a combination of innovation, digitalization, and adoption, productivity and profitability will increase in this industry," says John Zhang, research analyst, IDC Energy Insights.
