515: Agriculture - are we prepared for the next technological revolution?

Food Matters Live Podcast

How prepared is the agricultural sector for the next big technological revolution?
We live in a digital age, everywhere you look new technologies are helping to make things faster, more efficient, and more precise.
But there is a feeling, not just in the food sector but more broadly, that we are on the cusp of another digital revolution.
AI, robotics, and access to data are advancing at great speed. The question is: can regulations, and expertise at a regulatory level, keep up with the advances we are seeing?
And all of that applies to farming methods too, particularly at a time when food producers are having to deal with multiple challenges like climate change, global political tensions, and a growing population.
In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, made in partnership with CropLife Europe, we dive into the world of digital and precision farming to see if we can answer some of those questions.
