Technology is vital for sustainable agriculture, especially in water conservation. Techniques like drip irrigation precisely deliver water, while hydroponics recycles every drop, boosting yields ten-fold and strengthening plants. The focus is on "right-tech," not just high or low, paving the way for autonomous farms.

Sachin, CEO of Simply Fresh Private Limited, exemplifies this innovation. His team successfully combined hydroponic soil-less farming with AI to create "Farm in A Box" (FiAB), India's largest state-of-the-art precision farm. This transformative approach was shared at a TEDx event.

A Dutch company is transforming food typically fed to farmed animals into plant-based meat substitutes. Developed with Wageningen University scientists, vegetarian butcher Jaap Korteweg produces burgers, mince, and kebabs that look, feel, and taste like real meat.

This innovative method uses a fraction of the resources needed for animal farming, significantly reducing space and feed. This creative approach not only offers sustainable food alternatives but also contributes to tackling climate change and protecting our planet.

This initiative is part of the #OurPlanet collaboration with the World Economic Forum, showcasing new solutions for climate action and nature restoration. Stay tuned for more inspirational stories.
