Dr Sourav Roy shared his insights on Ag-tech at the Economist Impact 9th Sustainability week, London

Описание: The panel focused on Feeding the world—how can neo-ag tech reduce farming’s environmental impact? 2.20pm (40min) From drones and AI to novel biological technologies, agriculture must adapt to the twin challenges of a growing population and extreme weather associated with climate change. What innovations are being deployed to ensure global food security? How can these solutions be scaled up and used for those who need it most?

Dr Roy shared his insights and left with 2 key takeaways for investor, business leaders and other thought leaders in the area.

1. Have nuanced approaches for climate challenges affecting food security in different parts of the world and explore low as well as high tech solutions including modernising heritage farming and novel agricultural methods.

2. Don't forget the small holding farmer in the developing world because a wealth of opportunity lies in bringing them up to speed with sustainable farming tech to ensure food security for them as well as for the global North.
