The world population is still growing every year. The amount of farmland is not. That means farmers will need to find ways to use their limited land more efficiently. AI could help, according to agriculture executives.
“Humanity does not have enough food to put on the table for everybody,” Feroz Sheikh, chief information and digital officer of the Syngenta Group, said at the Fortune Brainstorm AI Singapore conference last week. “By 2050, we will need 600 million hectares of additional land. That is almost four times the agricultural land in Europe.”
