Development trends in agricultural apps - an interim review

Abstract

Globalisation, volatile markets and the increased withdrawal of agricultural policy from market regulation leads to increasing complexity in decision-making processes for farm businesses. Applications offer through their mobility and individual design options to assist the farmer in his daily work. In this context, this study makes an inventory and categorisation of native agriculture-related applications. The results reveal a focus on e.g. crop production and commonly occurring demand-related combinations of functions (e.g. planning and analysis).
