The annual tech trade show in Las Vegas, CES has once again become the playground for big thinkers making huge strides in sustainability. At CES 2025, farming's seen a futuristic facelift thanks to companies like John Deere, showing off its autonomous tractors and heavy equipment, crucial for a sustainable future in farming.

Steering Agriculture towards a 'Climate-Smart' Future

At the show, companies, small and large alike, displayed their commitment to crafting greener practices. Volvo taking the leap towards net-zero emissions by 2040, and Wisconsin's OshKosh Corporation electric fire engines and garbage trucks are just a fraction of the sustainability initiatives they've rallied behind. Jacqueline Heard, CEO, and co-founder of Enko Chem strongly emphasized the urgent need for climate-smart technologies.

Agriculture AI: Smarter Technologies for Greater Yields

Farming was the star of the show floor at CES. Companies highlighted the impacts of climate change and farming labor shortages and how they tackle these pressing issues innovatively. Tech manufacturer Kubota showcased an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that smartly detects crop diseases and sprays only where pests have been identified. Todd Stucke, president of Kubota Tractor Corporation, affirms AI as the future of farming.

Revamping Farming Practices: Welcome to ‘Precision Agriculture’

This new approach to farming, famously known as "precision agriculture," is being viewed as the game-changer. It helps farmers optimize their land, improve crop quality, increase lifespans, and cut down on harmful chemicals. It's a win for farmers and our precious environment.

AI: The Supportive Friend Farmers Deserve

In today’s changing world, AI may even guide our tillers of the soil in mapping out their land, offering wisdom on varied soil types and suitable crops. The tree nut farmer, Maichel, stands as a hopeful ambassador of AI and its potential to manage unpredictable farming under shifting climates. He reckons the evolving technology can aid farmers like him to adapt to a transforming industry and climate.

Indeed, our lives depend on their never-ending endeavor – "We all need to eat, right?" Just as farmer Maichel remarked: "A farmer’s job is one that we all need."
