For a long time, New Zealand has traded off the back of its agricultural and farming expertise. Producing enough food to feed 40 million, we export most of that overseas. It’s made us a pretty wealthy country and afforded us access to new medicines; precision scientific instruments; animal feed and fuel. However, our heavy reliance on agriculture has come at the cost of our environment, leading to soil degradation, water pollution and excessive carbon emissions. On today’s episode I kōrero with Darryn Keiller CEO and founder of Agtech startup, WayBeyond. They’re a New Zealand company whose mission is to improve the way we cultivate food. As we know, access to quality nutrition, fruit and vegetables is critical for the health and wellbeing of our future generations. But our food systems face uncertainty in the wake of Climate Change. Cyclone Gabrielle highlighted the power of extreme weather to disrupt our food growers. So what does a more resilient and sustainable food system look like?
En primer lugar, es fundamental recopilar datos históricos de la región en la que se cultiva, incluyendo información sobre temperaturas, precipitaciones, humedad del suelo y condiciones climáticas extremas.
Estos datos brindan un contexto invaluable para entender las tendencias y patrones climáticos a lo largo del tiempo, permitiendo ajustar las estrategias de cultivo en respuesta a variaciones estacionales.
La selección adecuada de cultivos también influye en la predicción del rendimiento. Diferentes especies vegetales tienen requisitos específicos en términos de temperatura, humedad, tipo de suelo y horas de luz solar.
La genética de las plantas juega un papel crucial en su desempeño, ya que algunas variedades están adaptadas a condiciones adversas o tienen resistencia a enfermedades. Integrar datos genéticos en los modelos predictivos puede mejorar la precisión al estimar cómo ciertas cepas responderán a condiciones cambiantes.
Además, no se puede pasar por alto la importancia de la tecnología en este proceso. La agricultura de precisión, respaldada por herramientas como sensores remotos, sistemas de información geográfica y análisis de datos, permite monitorear los campos de cultivo en tiempo real.
