The future will depend on advancing farming technology to feed a growing world.
That was the conclusion of this year’s Hertz lecture, which was given by Jim Blome, the president and CEO of Bayer CropScience.
“It’s all about innovation and technology,” Blome said. “So it’s important for us to recognize emerging trends.”
These innovations and technologies are needed to overcome the challenges of a changing world. One in eight people go hungry every day in spite of there being enough resources to feed them.
“There are several reasons [for this],” Blome said. “Poverty is one, politics is another and logistics. But we do the best we can.”
