How biotech supercharged by AI, robotics and blockchain can help tackle climate change and food shortages
How biotech supercharged by AI, robotics and blockchain can help tackle climate change and food shortages


The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, robotics, and blockchain is transforming agriculture worldwide. These technologies tackle pressing issues such as food security, climate change, labour shortages, and supply chain inefficiencies.
AI is changing agriculture through data-driven decision-making, precision farming, and predictive analytics. AI-powered tools analyse data from sensors, drones, and satellites to optimise irrigation, fertilisation, and pest control – reducing resource waste while increasing yields.
Biotechnology is improving crop resilience, productivity, and sustainability. Genetically modified organism (GMO) crops are designed to withstand drought, resist pests, and provide higher nutritional value – helping farmers adapt to climate change.
Precision gene-editing technologies like CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) are enhancing crops without introducing foreign DNA, making them more widely accepted.
…
A significant trend is the merging of these technologies into comprehensive solutions. AI-powered robots are performing complex agricultural tasks like selective harvesting and precision spraying.
