Journal Article
Improving decision support systems with machine learning: Identifying barriers to adoption
2024
Overview
Precision agriculture (PA) has been defined as a “management strategy that gathers, processes and analyzes temporal, spatial and individual data and combines it with other information to support management decisions according to estimated variability for improved resource use efficiency, productivity, quality, profitability and sustainability of agricultural production.” This definition suggests that because PA should simultaneously increase food production and reduce the environmental footprint, the barriers to adoption of PA should be explored. These barriers include (1) the financial constraints associated with adopting decision support system (DSS); (2) the hesitancy of farmers to change from their trusted advisor to a computer program that often behaves as a black box; (3) questions about data ownership and privacy; and (4) the lack of a trained workforce to provide the necessary training to implement DSSs on individual farms. This paper also discusses the lessons learned from successful and unsuccessful efforts to implement DSSs, the importance of communication with end users during DSS development, and potential career opportunities that DSSs are creating in PA. Core Ideas Decision support systems (DSSs) are one component of precision agriculture (PA). The accuracy of DSSs may be improved by using algorithms based on machine learning. Barriers to DSSs include financial constraints, hesitancy to change, data privacy, and workforce limitations. Professional opportunities exist to overcome DSS adoption barriers.
