The next big technologies in food and agriculture for 2023

The food system has a significant carbon footprint and leads to challenges posed by climate change. This has spurred technological innovations in agriculture, such as Aigen's solar-powered robotic weeding machine which removes weeds without the need for herbicides, operating off-grid with solar and wind energy, showcasing a sustainable approach. Addressing the crisis facing bee populations, Dalan Animal Health developed the world's first honeybee vaccine to combat foulbrood, a contagious disease threatening hives globally. Administered to queen bees, it passes immunity to offspring, providing a crucial tool. Windfall Bio contributes to climate solutions by converting carbon pollution into fertilizer. Targeting methane emissions from agriculture, it enhances soil microbes that naturally consume methane, transforming it into organic fertilizer. This approach addresses the dual challenge of reducing methane and mitigating the environmental impact of synthetic fertilizers.
