Data data data! Data is the basis of any success story and a major challenge for agriculture πΎ
On August 23 at the Kcell Eurasian Mobile Summit, CEO & Founder of ESG KZ Consulting Bureau discussed the prospects of development of the agribusiness sector at the panel session "Innovations in AgriTech for Sustainable Agriculture"
The main points of the discussion:
- Digitalisation is needed in all sectors of agriculture, it is not available to all farmers due to high cost, while it is becoming an urgent necessity
- The level of network coverage in Kazakhstan's suburbs remains low and is a barrier to the introduction of some innovations
- A lot of qualitative data, including retrospective data, is needed to implement technologies, including predictive methods
- Dana Shukirbayevaβs thesis was that carbon credits are a great opportunity for farmers to get additional income that can cover the costs of necessary digitalisation, and also carbon projects are a tool to stimulate the adoption of sustainable practices in land use by farmers
Thus, carbon projects work in a mutually beneficial way: the farmer improves his processes and implements sustainable practices, and then receives income for improving data collection for reporting and for implementing digital solutions
To conclude, carbon credits are becoming one of the working tools for solving the problem of degraded agricultural land in Kazakhstan
