Here's how Hydenmet’s STAGE (Precision farming) contributes to various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
Precision farming helps increase agricultural productivity by enabling farmers to monitor and manage crops more efficiently. By using techniques such as soil sensors, drones, and GPS-guided machinery, farmers can optimize irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, leading to higher yields and increased food security
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
Precision agriculture minimizes water usage through techniques such as drip irrigation and soil moisture monitoring. By applying water only where and when it's needed, farmers reduce water waste and protect local water resources, contributing to sustainable water management
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
Precision farming promotes more efficient use of resources such as water, fertilizers, and pesticides. By applying these inputs precisely, farmers reduce waste and environmental pollution, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices
SDG 13: Climate Action
Precision agriculture helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. By optimizing inputs and reducing the need for fuel and fertilizer, precision farming minimizes the carbon footprint of farming operations
SDG 15: Life on Land
Precision farming promotes soil health and biodiversity by reducing soil erosion, minimizing chemical runoff, and preserving natural habitats. By using precision techniques, farmers can maintain or improve soil quality, prevent habitat destruction, and promote sustainable land management practices
SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals
Precision farming relies on collaboration between farmers, Hydenmet as technology developer, governments, and other stakeholders. By fostering partnerships and sharing knowledge and resources, precision agriculture can be more widely adopted, leading to greater global sustainability and resilience in food production
Overall, precision farming plays a crucial role in advancing several Sustainable Development Goals by promoting efficient resource use, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing food security and agricultural sustainability.
