Farming & Forestry
Contributing to 17% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, agriculture is one of the key action areas for climate change. Technological innovation in farming is diverse and growing rapidly with for example popular developments in vertical farming, precision agriculture and smart irrigation – three technological areas aiming to increase resource use efficiency. Forests represent a natural carbon reservoir and has an important role in lowering CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Here remote sensing data from airplanes, drones, and satellites are becoming ever more important and information rich. This section encompasses technological solutions and needs that relate to land use, flora and fauna conservation and many forms of agricultural practices.
