Some call it precision agriculture, others digital agriculture or Agriculture 4.0. In the end, it’s about new digital technologies that make it possible to produce an ever-greater amount of data about farms and use those data to improve food production, delivery, and sales to consumers.
Those same datasets can be used by input (seeds, fertilizers, etc.) and service providers to develop new products and services for agro-food systems. Governments are also interested in designing and implementing data-driven policies for the sector.
Realizing these benefits requires and enabling data governance for the sector. Yet, some farmers are increasingly concerned they can’t control how data about their farm, which they consider personal or commercially sensitive, is shared, used, and reused by others. ....

-Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute
LINCOLN, Neb. The Irrigation Innovation Consortium recently announced funding for seven research projects in 2021, three of which are led by Faculty Fellows of the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI). The IIC is a university and industry collaboration that accelerates the development and adoption of water- and energy-efficient irrigation technology. DWFI and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln jointly are a founding member of the consortium and DWFI Director of Research Christopher Neale serves on its Executive Committee.
“The IIC brings together university and industry partners to accelerate the development and adoption of new irrigation technologies,” said Neale. “The IIC is a great partner in helping DWFI achieve its mission of global food security without compromising the use of water to meet other vital needs.” ....

Ogallala Aquifer Summit discusses ideas on preservation

Candace Krebs
The Ag Journal
Education and collaboration were repeatedly emphasized during the second-ever Ogallala Aquifer Summit, a virtual gathering space where hundreds of concerned farmers, researchers and resource managers shared ideas about how to preserve the vitality of a rural region that overlies one of the most heavily pumped underground reservoirs in the world.
Roughly 95 percent of all freshwater currently withdrawn from the eight-state aquifer goes to irrigate commodity crops.
Since the first aquifer summit in 2018, previous participants have expanded on several innovative programs or spread them to new areas.
The Kansas Water Office now has 15 water technology farms that demonstrate the latest irrigation technology in a real world setting. ....
