23 Jun 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • Which robotics and automation technologies are already commercially viable in large‑scale South American crop and livestock systems, and where is ROI now clear in labor savings and efficiency?
  • How is AI moving precision agriculture from data collection to autonomous decision making and execution, and how does this change for equipment utilization and farm economics?
  • What needs to happen for robotics and automation to shift from standalone tools to integrated components of whole-farm operating systems?
  • As on-farm data capture increases, what consideration must be paid to data protection laws, and what data-sharing models will build trust with producers and vendor lock-in, whilst allowing service providers to deliver predictive maintenance?
  • How far have satellite-based connectivity and edge computing gone in enabling fully digital farms and solving rural connectivity challenges? Where are the remaining bottlenecks?
