Feeding Humanity through Agricultural Innovation

· February 12, 2016 ·

February 12, 2016

About this seminar

Strengthening innovation in agriculture is fundamental to driving development in the sector and addressing the great challenges facing humanity. Technology in agriculture is critical to adequately responding to future demands. Traditional technologies must be restored and applied together with new technologies, and new technologies must be developed and adjusted to each region. We must produce more using the same surface area, increase production yields and avoid post-harvest losses.
