Farmers face multiple challenges in crop and livestock farming, such as pests and diseases, adverse weather, food loss management and fluctuating market conditions. During this session, panelists will discuss how to respond to these challenges, including with the use of e-farming applications and artificial intelligence-based machines. New trends in agriculture such as “climate-smart villages” and urban agriculture will be also considered. In this context, panelists will also look at various IP tools and strategies that could encourage innovation for more sustainable farm production.

The storing and distribution represents the stage of the supply chain that takes the agricultural products from farmers to consumers. This stage is highly dependent on good infrastructure, efficient energy and secure transportation systems. Consumer awareness and behavior is important to drive the direction of agricultural production and distribution. In this session, panelists will explore policies and innovative technologies at this stage of the value chain, designed to reduce the losses that occur while storing and distributing agricultural goods along the way, but also the importance of IP branding strategies in shaping consumer behavior and encouraging responsible consumption.
