As long as you get advice and not just information from the smart farming system (e.g. with gaiasense 2 or 3), you will see the first results after the completion of the first growing season. The more years (periods) you apply the smart farming tips, the more benefits you will realize you have. Usually, the benefits that become most quickly apparent are a reduction in inputs and then an increase in output. Better risk management becomes apparent after some years have passed so that you understand that with intelligent farming you managed to manage more correctly and efficiently the risks you usually face. Improving sustainability has long-term benefits because it maintains the resources you use, such as soil, water and the wider ecosystem in and around your field, in better condition. The improvement of the product quality can be achieved after some years but also after better adaptation of the system to the quality characteristics you seek for your product. Increasing its added value requires cooperation with the other links of the agri-food chain so that the information collected about your product by the smart farming service can be reflected in it and reach the shelf, i.e. the consumer.
