Climate change is having a major impact on food security. More than 815 million people are chronically hungry. The world needs to increase food production by almost 50 percent by 2050 to feed a population of nine billion, yet resources such as land and water are becoming scarcer. Farming communities and others involved in agriculture must adapt agriculture to climate change and other challenges.
In this context, ICT-driven tools and technologies needed to enhance decision making through accurate, reliable and timely information have an important role to play. Agriculture, Forestry, and Livestock ecosystems must look towards emerging technologies for solutions to overcome some of the challenges they face.
