What if growers could detect crop stress before it's visible? 🌱
Plants often show signs of stress 7-14 days before the human eye can detect them. Advances in satellite imagery and drones are helping uncover those early signals, giving growers the insights they need to make more informed decisions throughout the season.
Great to join the @PepsiCo Agro University in Mexico alongside @Google and @Microsoft to discuss how digital agriculture, data and agronomic expertise can help unlock the full potential of every potato crop. 🥔

Pleased to meet with @SyngentaGroup management to discuss cooperation in modern agricultural technologies and sustainable farming. Kazakhstan prioritizes innovation and productivity in agriculture and welcomes the localization of advanced agro production and technologies in 🇰🇿.
What will the next generation of farming look like? 🌱
That question sparked important conversations at Innovation Forum’s Future of Food & Beverage Forum.
From access to land and capital to labor shortages and volatile incomes, the challenges facing agriculture are deeply connected and so are the solutions.
A key theme throughout the forum: combining agronomic expertise with business skills, technology, and innovation to help build a more resilient future for farming.
