The World Economic Forum’s 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions recently concluded in Tianjin. This year’s event was focused on Entrepreneurship: The Driving Force of the Global Economy.
Although I was unable to attend, I share my passion here for the transformative power of entrepreneurship and emerging technologies in enacting positive change. New ideas have many times over innovated entire industries.
“Agriculture was a major point of discussion [this year] as agricultural output could fall by 4% due to climate change while the world population is projected to grow by 4.3%." - World Economic Forum
Enko’s innovations in agtech are poised to help, as are companies developing farmer-centric smart tractors, soil nutrition, drone monitoring, and more.
Developed countries, furthermore, are working towards reducing chemical use and implementing nature-based solutions, while developing countries (those most often exposed to the worst impacts of climate change) are trying to build the groundwork by establishing resilient infrastructures.
There is much afoot that will require bespoke thinking and agile movement if we are to transform food systems sustainably.
Enko’s AI based solutions are poised to outpace traditional R&D, to pave a better path forward powering agriculture’s role in combating climate change, grow economies, and enact change that increases overall farm production and food in the world.
Innovation for food security. The time has come when we simply must.
Fifth in a series focused on new ag technologies that are helping farmers to be more efficient, sustainable, and profitable.
