ZimmCast 762

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. In this episode I’m going to share some comments and a question from the latest IFAJ Webinar. The topic was “Artificial Intelligence’s Impact on R&D for Agriculture.” Moderating was Steve Werblow, IFAJ President and Martin Clough, Syngenta Crop Protection’s R&D Head of Digital Collaboration and Sustainability and Andre Piza, Syngenta’s Group’s Global Head of Digital AgTech. My question was, are there concerns about the cost of data centers and including issues like the climate and sustainability. Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept for agriculture—it is already transforming how research and development are conducted. From accelerating scientific discovery and improving data analysis to supporting the development of more targeted and sustainable solutions for growers, AI is becoming an essential tool in agricultural innovation. During this session, the speakers will provide practical insights into how AI is being integrated across agricultural R&D, the opportunities it creates for researchers and farmers alike, and the challenges that remain as digital technologies continue to evolve.
