As we urgently need new solutions, disruptive digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) have now emerged as powerful tools that can revolutionize the agricultural sector by enhancing efficiency, precision, and sustainability.
This special event, organized during FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2023, showcases concrete examples of technological innovations that aim at transforming traditional agricultural practices into sophisticated, data-driven systems that will protect efficiently our people and our planet. It aims to highlight and explore the potential of new digital technologies, with a focus on AI and digital tools’ pivotal role in building climate-resilient agri-food systems that are more efficient, sustainable, and adaptable to the challenges posed by a changing climate.
Bringing together experts, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders from the broadest agricultural and technology sectors, including the International Agency for Atomic Energy (IAEA), the United Nations Development Capital Fund (UNCDF), the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Digital Green/representatives from the government of Tanzania, the event will foster knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation in this crucial domain.
