Chipped cows are self-supporting to get fed and being milked. Harvesting in field and greenhouse becomes a robot action. With vertical farming, trees now literally can grow into heaven ‘to Mars and beyond’, using LED as our easy-to-manipulate sunny alternative. We have drones as spy in the sky to check and serve crop cultivation at the square meter level. Technological innovations penetrate into all industries, including the food production chain. How new opportunities, such as gene editing and synthetic biology, can contribute to improving food quality and increasing food production will be discussed before the break.ĭuring the session before lunch we move to technology. Now that we know the genetic building blocks we can combine the favourable genes by breeding. Recent technological breakthroughs enable to crack this genetic code with an unprecedented accuracy and speed. The genetic code of crops and livestock animals determines most of the agricultural traits.
