Organic farming in Asia boosts sustainability and food traceability with digital tech
The organic farming sector in Asia is growing, with a focus on sustainability and soil health. Smart farming technologies are being used to improve productivity and food safety. Consumers are increasingly interested in the origin and quality of organic products. Digital tools like blockchain and IoT are being used to create transparent food traceability systems. These technologies are not only making organic farming more profitable but also attracting younger farmers. Some Asian countries, like Vietnam, are incentivizing the adoption of digital equipment for smart organic agriculture. In 2019, China launched a new national organic standard, showing progress in the region.
