Tech is an integral part of our strategy to further scale our services and advisories to the last-mile farmer. We believe for tech to scale it is critical that an enabling ecosystem and partnerships are forged. The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution India’s efforts in facilitating this partnership are a step in the right direction and will have long-term implications. I congratulate the centre on its incredible six-year journey. Sanjiv Kanwar, Country Manager, Yara International Cropin stands as the first global agritech company to build intelligence across 1 billion acres of cultivable land, analysing over 5% of the world’s cultivable land. We have digitized 30 million acres of farmland, positively impacting the lives of over 7 million farmers worldwide. While proud of these achievements, we recognize that we are still at the beginning of realizing agriculture’s full potential through technology, digitalization and AI. We believe collaboration across diverse stakeholders is essential, particularly the initiatives at the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution; our continued association with the World Economic Forum will, we hope, drive meaningful progress towards transforming global food systems for the benefit of our planet. Krishna Kumar, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Cropin Small-scale farmers are leveraging digital technologies from mobile phones to AI systems to make better decisions on their farms across India.
