Beneath the surface: how data and technology can drive carbon farming and resilience at farm-level

Innovation Forum podcast

On 20th June, Innovation Forum hosted a free virtual event with Bayer Crop Science.

Data is key to shaping decisions that increase food production, farm incomes, and climate resilience. For farmers, the right data is an essential foundation for efficient, productive, and profitable operations. And now, it is becoming much easier for farmers to benefit from the data they produce. In this webinar, we discussed real-life case studies to explore how data collection and analysis can inform decision making at the farm level. We also assessed how agribusinesses like Bayer can leverage data and support carbon sequestration efforts to reduce emissions, protect nature, and build supply chain resilience.
Our panel examined:

• How technology and data can support farmers to deliver efficiency gains, emissions reductions, and carbon sequestration.
• How effective Measurement, Reporting, and Verification can ensure compliance and progress for food value chain actors.
• How Bayer's digital solutions can empower carbon farming and effective data sharing throughout the value chain.

Our panel included:

• Valeria Forlin, policy officer, European Commission (DG CLIMA)
• Juan Palomares, managing director EU, Trinity AgTech
• Kiera Holland, EMEA digital solutions science manager, Bayer Crop Science
• Lionnel Alexandre, head of carbon science EMEA, Bayer Crop Science

The discussion was moderated by Toby Webb, founder of Innovation Forum.
This webinar was hosted in partnership with Bayer Crop Science.
