With a growing world population the demand for food production is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades. Add increasing pressure on water usage and sustainability, and recent world events pushing food security even further up the agenda, there has never been a hotter time in the agriculture technology market. The demand that farming has to meet simply cannot be met without the efficiencies that can be delivered through technology – and in very many cases, edge computing is a key element of those solutions.
Now in its tenth year, Silicon Valley AgTech has brought together thousands of farmers & growers, technology professionals and investors to drive forward the implementation of new agricultural technologies. Edge Computing World is delighted to announce its partnership with Silicon Valley AgTech, as from 2022 we welcome SV AgTech to be delivered under the Edge Computing World umbrella, integrated into the ECW program.
