With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, food production must increase by 70%. However, arable land is shrinking.
Technology offers a lifeline:
- Precision Agriculture: Using drones and sensors to treat individual plants rather than whole fields.
- Vertical Farming: Growing crops indoors to reduce water usage by 95%.
Cambodia is uniquely positioned to adopt these leapfrog technologies to become a major food exporter in the region.
