Capacity Building for Farming System Digitalization Using Farming Management System

Agriculture is one of the most important areas of human activity around
the world. As the population increases, it is necessary to increase
agricultural production. In the age of information technology,
information plays a key role in people's lives. Agriculture is rapidly
becoming a highly development-intensive industry where farmers need
to collect and evaluate a large amount of information in their business
processes to become more efficient in production and communicate
information accordingly. Modernizing agriculture requires technological
know-how for the efficient use of agricultural inputs. It deals with factors
such as ecological footprint, product safety, labor welfare, nutritional
responsibility, plant/animal health and welfare, economic responsibility
and local market presence. They cover almost all stages in the production
chain concerning day-to-day agricultural tasks, transactional activities for
all stakeholders involved, and support for information transparency in the
food chain. The use of information technology and network infrastructure
currently enables the application of technology in agricultural business
processes, but there is no standardized solution to enable interoperability
and integration among services and stakeholders. Farming Management
System (FMS) is expected to be a solution and standard in the use of
technology in agriculture. Farming management system is a management
system specifically designed to assist farmers or farm managers in
managing their farming operations more efficiently and effectively. This
system usually consists of integrated software and hardware to monitor
and collect data from various aspects of agriculture, such as irrigation,
fertilization, pesticide spraying, etc.
