The global population is predicted to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and to feed everyone, it’s estimated that global food production will need to increase by up to 70% in the next 30 years. There are many challenges to overcome before regarding food production, including rising temperatures and more frequent droughts caused by global warming. These obstacles are making traditional farming methods increasingly inefficient and unpredictable. Traditional farming has also been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, creating disruptions in supply chains. As farmers grapple with these various changes, new innovative technologies are being implemented.
In today’s conversation we will discuss how we might reimagine farming to be more sustainable, environmentally friendly, and easier to access for all.
