Farm Automation: How are Robotics and Agri-Tech Transforming Growing Systems?
- With drones and autonomous equipment gaining traction in China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand, how are AI-driven robotic innovations adapting to country, crop, and growing system-specific parameters? What are the economic and environmental impacts?
- In a competitive innovation landscape, how are equipment providers co-creating robotic solutions with farmers to further optimise equipment and accelerate its commercialisation?
- Given that high upfront costs and infrastructural constraints limit the adoption of robotics by smallholders in countries including Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines and India, do we see an opportunity to adapt these solutions to the smallholder farming context to further penetrate the Asia-Pacific market?
