Fireside Chat // CEA & Open Field Innovation: How is AgTech Climate-Proofing Diverse Cropping Systems?
- With climate challenges intensifying, what is the role of greenhouses in building resilience in fresh produce and specialty crop supply chains? How can we enable the transition from basic polytunnels to advanced, high-tech greenhouses, and what are the benefits for climate and economic resilience?
- How are robotics and precision technologies alleviating labour challenges and improving resource management across fresh produce and specialty crop operations? How are these solutions adapting to different controlled environment and open field cropping systems in Asia-Pacific?
- As energy demand and costs rise with the automation and digitalisation of growing operations, how can circular models whereby hydrogen and other renewable energy are generated and used on farms help to manage economic pressures?
