Digi-Key presents:
Farm Different Season 2

Technology is ensuring that the art of farming isn’t lost due to lack of viable land, tighter margins, a diminishing workforce, or the shifting climate. Research shows that food production must increase by 70% from current levels to feed the population of the future, but how do we ensure this level of production is also sustainable for the planet we call home?

SEASON 1
SEASON 2

SEASON 1 IS POWERED BY

DigiKey presents a three-part series about the people, technology, and challenges of modern agriculture. To farm better we must farm different.

S1: EPISODE 1

Farmers

Drones will play a key role in the farms of the future. In the first episode of this three-part series, we journey to Shenzhen to visit the world’s largest drone manufacturer, DJI. Here, we learn more about their precision agriculture drones and training programs that turn farmers into licensed pilots.

S1: EPISODE 2

The Equipment

In the second episode, we travel back to the United States to visit the Grand Farm in Fargo, North Dakota. Their vision highlights several new initiatives that are leveraging exciting collaborations to develop and test cutting-edge equipment in a real-world setting.

S1: EPISODE 3

On the Horizon

In our final episode, we sit down with agriculture startups from around the world with a focus on everything from ocean farming to precision mapping systems, and artificial intelligence. These unique solutions will define the next generation of farming.

SEASON 2 IS POWERED BY

In season 2 of Farm Different, we learn how technology is ensuring that the art of farming isn’t lost due to lack of viable land, tighter margins, a diminishing workforce, or the shifting climate. Research shows that food production must increase by 70% from current levels to feed the population of the future, but how do we ensure this level of production is also sustainable for the planet we call home?

S2: EPISODE 1

Automating a Withering Workforce

There is a growing shortage of farmers around the world. A 52% decline in hired farmworkers and a 73% decline in family farmworkers has created the need for automated solutions to step in and fill the gap.

S2: EPISODE 2

From Farm to Table

Food often travels great distances to reach grocery stores and supermarkets. How do we keep produce fresh as it moves through the supply chain? What technologies can better monitor food to prevent excess waste?

S2: EPISODE 3

The Sustainable Future of Farming

The methods by which we grow and produce food have a measurable impact on the environment, and as food production scales upward, new innovations in agtech like electric vehicles, vertical farming, and advanced sensors to maximize efficiency will all be integral to securing a future for the art of farming.
