After recently attending the New Zealand Crop Protection Society symposium 'Growing a Greener Future' Event, Real Optimism host Julia Jones talks about the collaborative spirit and groundbreaking research presentations that specifically impressed her.
She highlights John Caradis' discussion on GMOs and innovative studies on bacteria that reduce chemical use on crops and delves into the transformative potential of agricultural technology in New Zealand, emphasising the role of R&D and AI in initiatives like Predator Free 2050.
Drawing parallels to tech giants like Google and Uber, Jones underscores the need for collaboration and sustained investment to enhance agricultural exports and environmental sustainability.
