Agriculture is driven by innovation and technology; it needs everyone and all skills. Modern agriculture is a primary industry where heavy diesel machinery is guided by satellite positioning, systems, and cattle wear digital locators and geofence units around their necks. It merges ancient wine-making principles with molecular research. It pairs primary production with creative branding and marketing. Most important of all, is the way agriculture brings caring for the planet’s land, animals, climate and people together.

Agriculture is the world’s most diverse (and important) industry. It feeds and clothes us all, employs thousands, generates massive export earnings and sustains whole communities. The world’s population is expected to hit 9.7 billion in 2050 and almost 11 billion by 2100. However, the amount of arable farmland is essentially fixed. So agriculture is in a race to. Become smarter, more efficient, more productive and, in the face of climate change, more resilient.
