The potato is a crop of enormous global significance. It’s the third most important food crop behind wheat and rice, consumed by roughly 1.3 billion people globally.
With Crop Controller, strawberry growers gain access to one AI solution that addresses multiple greenhouse challenges simultaneously and supports more predictable and stable growing outcomes.
For the first time, $20 million will be set aside to fund research and development into mechanization and automation technologies for the specialty crop industry to help reduce labour costs.
Five working groups will provide focus to specific topics. They include: International Potato Research Collaborative Framework (IPRCF), Potato Aeroponics Network, Apical Rooted Cuttings Network, International Marketing Group and Global Potato Sustainability.
