Agriculture Empowered by Supercomputing

DescriptionAgriculture worldwide is facing massive challenges in production, distribution, pollution reduction, and food security and waste: less than 40% of any crop is actually marketed. The farm, the oldest human-engineered system, produces the vast majority of human sustenance and consumes the majority of global freshwater. Its efficient operation is of vital importance -particularly when supply chains are disrupted by wars and pandemics. This BoF will discuss how novel supercomputing technologies and related distributed heterogeneous systems at scale could empower the primary sector and, as a result, stop operating in a needlessly fragile and inefficient way.
