Technology for sustainability: Agri-tech

Agricultural technology (agri-tech) is the use of technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture to improve yield, efficiency, and profitability.

Agri-tech includes products, services, or applications derived from the agricultural sector that improve decision making, reduce water consumption, help support food security, enhance the quality of fruit and vegetables, and offer numerous other benefits.

By harnessing the potential of agri-tech, we can revolutionise the agricultural landscape and unlock a multitude of positive outcomes.
