- Purpose
By 2050, the demand for food will surge by 70% as the population grows rapidly. With around 9.9 percent of the world's population still going hungry, a United Nations study found that the idea of feeding nearly 10 billion mouths is a daunting prospect. Because environmental changes are unpredictable, we must turn to innovations in agricultural technology. Thankfully, the signs so far offer hope. We don't have to wait 2 decades to see how innovative agricultural solutions can impact human life in the future.
Sustainable agriculture is a breeding ground at a time when environmental concerns and climate change concerns are at an all-time high. Our population is growing, and the growing scarcity of land and water poses a major threat to human lifespan as we know it. But while many politicians are stalling and diverting attention, agtech startups are busy making moves.
From advances in precision agriculture to farm automation, genetics and water management technologies, innovations in agricultural technology provide the means for smarter, safer and more efficient farming.
