SUSTAINABLE INTENSIFICATION OF MODERN AGRICULTURE THROUGH PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES ON DIFFERENT READINESS LEVELS

The modern agricultural production is facing the problem of a growing society as well as different environmental threats. To solve this issue, agricultural production should be more sustainable and efficient which can be reached by using new technologies. In the paper the most important technologies, which were evaluated to find how and when they could be used for a sustainable intensification of agriculture were highlighted by applying technology and market readiness models. It was found that technologies that collect or utilize advanced data (sensors, drones) are more applicable for use, contrary to nanotechnologies where the costs of development and applications limits the readiness.
