“We are working in partnership with all relevant local and global entities to build a stronger and more resilient food sector capable of facing challenges. Modern farming technology represents one of the most important solutions to these challenges: the lack of agricultural land and scarcity of water. This also helps reduce the sector’s carbon footprint and the entire food value chain and preserves natural resources from waste.
