Agricultural role players and stakeholders are encouraged to attend the conference and expo to witness the latest in agriculture technology.
Technologies that will advance food production and solve the most pressing issues of the 21st century are developing at a rapid pace. To gain the maximum benefit of these technologies, stakeholders need not only understand them, but have the insight to apply the right technology, at the right time, at the right place.
The Africa Agri-Tech Conference & Expo (AAT), taking place from 18 to 20 March at the CSIR Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa, is the gateway to the latest agritech breakthroughs.
The highly anticipated third instalment of the AAT will bring the best in their field to unpack the technologies that will have the biggest impact on how we produce food in this century and beyond.
“The biggest challenges facing food producers today – rising input costs, erratic weather, theft, and logistical disruptions – all have one thing in common: technology can solve them. If you want to future-proof your business, this is the event to attend,” says Anlie Hattingh, AAT spokesperson.
AAT creates a single platform to showcase the most innovative and game-changing technology in the food production space.
It addresses a specific market need for an event addressing global trends and advances across the full spectrum of data-driven technology, biotechnology, and bioscience that will shape the future of agriculture.
This year, AAT offers two parallel programmes – one for large commercial farmers and businesses, and another for small- to medium-scale commercial farmers. This ensures every delegate gets the most relevant insights and strategies for their scale of operation.
Day 1: Animal AgTech: Innovations in precision livestock farming, genetics, and animal health.
Day 2: Plant AgTech: The latest in crop technology, biotech solutions, and precision farming.
Day 3: AgBusiness: How artificial intelligence, digital tools, and financial innovations are shaping the business of agriculture.
