IFPRI is co-organizing the 2019 Big Data in Agriculture Convention.
Building resilient global food security requires us to navigate a complex net of interactions between the biosphere, economy, technology, and society. Machines and machine-to-machine systems shape and accelerate our social and economic lives, even as climates and ecosystems may seem destined to continue on a tragic path.
Our ethical frameworks, our human communities, and our institutions struggle to stay abreast the rate of change.
We can no longer consider distinct facets of food security in isolation; we need holistic solutions. To claim these potential solutions we need trust: in institutions, in firms, in dynamic and expanding human communities, and in the technologies themselves that can help us build the future
This year’s convention will bring together efforts in pursuit of holistic solutions to feed the future – byte by byte.
