Discovering latent resources for food production and economic growth
- The ever-growing global food demand – there will be two billion additional people on Earth by 2050
- The ever-shrinking natural resources, such as available land and fresh water
- The impact of climate changes on production
These issues pose new challenges for local leaders worldwide and offer great opportunities for developers, food producers and the agri-investment sector.
The challenges of agricultural and food production can only be met successfully by switching to a more innovative approach in resource utilization, especially in terms of land and water (also energy), to boost efficiency and yields.
Advances in technology are crucial to the future of agriculture, as farmers strive to feed the world with limited natural resources.
Locating, integrating and implementing new technologies, such as innovation agriculture, smart irrigation, digital soil mapping, digital growth monitoring, greenhouses and water technologies, are essential to planning sustainable agricultural intensification and natural resources management.
