Lunch

The significance of technology in agriculture cannot be overstated – it will be pivotal in addressing; 
 
•	Enhanced Productivity: Agricultural technology allows farmers to produce more food with fewer resources thereby optimising yields and profitability.
•	Food Security: With increased population and challenges to supply chains, innovation is required for stable and sufficient food supply.
•	Resilience: Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture - technology has a critical role in its mitigation 
•	Sustainability: Technology enables sustainable farming practices to minimise the environmental impact of agriculture and conserves natural resources.
 
In this session we will hear perspectives on strategy along with some insights from some leading technology solutions in the agrifood sector
