About this Event
Precision agriculture harnesses a wide range of technologies to offer immense potential. Building on the success of our inaugural event the second edition of Ag-Tech Days will bring together researchers, farming communities, industry, and various organizations to address some of the most critical challenges in agriculture. Some of these challenges are:
- Precision agriculture requires upfront investment in specialized technologies
- Precision agriculture demands mobilizing various research domains in a synergic manner
- Impactful solutions depend on active involvements and collaborations of various stakeholders
- Connectivity issues in remote areas disrupt precision agriculture systems
- Integrating new tech with legacy farm equipment
- A shortage of specialized skills required for precision agriculture adoption
Join us on October 1st for a half-day of presentations, panel discussions, and curated networking opportunities aimed at fostering new transdisciplinary collaborations to drive the development and adoption of efficient, sustainable agricultural practices.
This is a hybrid event with limited in-person capacity. IN-PERSON registrations will be reviewed individually.
