If Only Your Crops Could Talk. Oh Wait, They Can.

Date TBA

Climate change, water scarcity, and soil degradation are just a few epidemic-sized challenges we face when growing crops. How will we navigate the new world order of farming when we are only six harvests away from food prices tripling with soil degenerating at record levels? What if crops could tell us what they needed? Darryn Keiller, CEO of New Zealand AgTech company WayBeyond shines a light on how farms in Mexico and Morocco are using a sensor network powered by plant science and artificial intelligence to deliver the actionable insights needed to help feed our world now and by 2050.
