Other Top Priorities:

  • Integrated solution that enables the early identification, prediction, and prevention of plant diseases and pest outbreaks — using remote sensing, in-field sensors, and benign pest control systems — to alert farmers to emerging threats and guide precise, timely, and environmentally responsible mitigation actions.
  • Innovative technologies targeting grassland management efficiency plus fertilizer/concentrate reduction, leading to improved practices.
  • Technologies that accelerate the transition to regenerative and climate-resilient agricultural systems while maintaining or restoring farm profitability, including drought-resistant and heat-tolerate agriculture production systems (including varieties with deep root systems and reduced evapotranspiration).
  • Crop damage prevention or mitigation during extreme or erratic weather events.
