The way we farm is changing rapidly. What will the agriculture of the future look like? The climate is changing, consumers are demanding more sustainable produce, and farmers have to adapt with every passing season. That is why what we will find on our plates in ten years’ time is being decided today, in Italy’s fields.
More resilient crops for a changing climate
The seasons are no longer predictable. Very hot summers, sudden downpours and long periods of drought are prompting farmers to choose hardier varieties. In the coming years, we will see more and more:
- cereals that are more heat-tolerant
- fruit that can tolerate a lack of water
- vegetables that can grow even in poor soil
These crops ensure consistency and quality, even when the weather puts the fields to the test; they therefore represent the future of agriculture.
The return of ancient grains
Spelt, barley, rye and ancient grains are making a comeback. They are more adaptable, require fewer treatments and cope well with changing climatic conditions. What’s more, consumers appreciate them for their taste, digestibility and sustainability.
The machines that prepare the pitches of the future
Modern farming requires more than just new varieties: it needs machinery capable of preparing the soil precisely, cleanly and sustainably. This is where stone buriers, bed former, mulchers and combination machines come into play – machines that are essential today and will become even more crucial in the coming years.
Stoneburiers
They will become increasingly important because they enable the cultivation of difficult soils, rich in stones, clods and plant debris. They create a uniform seedbed, which is essential for delicate crops and for varieties that require precision.
Bed former machine
With rainfall becoming increasingly unpredictable, well-draining planters will be essential. Planters help manage water efficiently, preventing waterlogging and protecting the roots.
Mulchers
Mulching will be one of the most useful techniques of the future. It reduces evaporation, retains moisture and suppresses weeds. Mulchers allow it to be applied quickly and evenly, saving both water and time.
combinated machines
They combine multiple operations in a single pass. This means lower fuel consumption, less soil compaction and a more uniform preparation. These machines are ideal for sustainable farming.
This equipment is not merely technical tools: it forms the foundation upon which the agriculture of the future will be built.

How our shopping habits will change
In the coming years, we will see more and more:
- Local and seasonal produce
- transparent supply chains
- varieties selected for their flavour and hardiness
- more sustainable packaging
The food of the future will be simple, locally sourced and more environmentally friendly.
Conclusion
The future of food is not far off: it is already growing in Italian fields today. Thanks to new varieties and machines such as our stone-buriers, ridgers, mulchers and combined machines from the Ortiflor Group, agriculture will become more resilient and sustainable. And what we will be eating in ten years’ time will depend precisely on these choices.
