Presentation
Agriculture Empowered by Supercomputing
DescriptionAgriculture worldwide is facing massive challenges in production, distribution, pollution reduction, food security and waste: In a $4 trillion global food production industry, less than 40% of any crop is actually marketed. The farm, the oldest human-engineered system, produces the vast majority of human sustenance and consumes the majority of global freshwater. Its efficient operation is crucial —particularly when supply chains are disrupted by wars and pandemics. This second BoF will discuss how novel supercomputing technologies, AI and related distributed heterogeneous systems could empower the primary sector and, as a result, stop operating in a needlessly fragile and inefficient way.
