To feed 9 billion people by 2050, we need to grow more food using fewer chemicals and less farmland. To do this, farmers need smart, precise technology to enable them to farm each square meter of their land with the individual care and attention of a gardener.

frog works with farmers and technology providers around the world. In this workshop, we will share some of our recent findings and insights from design research in Africa, Brazil, North America, and Europe. Leveraging this data, we will research, ideate, and prototype concepts for how to gather and act upon new sources of data to create the future farming methods that will ensure sustainable food security.
