The Climate Question

Can artificial intelligence help farmers adapt to the effects of climate change?


Listen Later

The effects of climate change on weather patterns around the world, including seasonal temperatures and rainfalls, are being felt keenly in agriculture – with shifting seasons and varying yields undermining years of habit-formed knowledge and process. Technology experts are helping farmers, including in some of the world’s poorest regions, adapt to the new food production landscape through the use of artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning.

Presenters Sophie Eastaugh and Luke Jones are joined by:

Ranveer Chandra, Managing Director for Research for Industry and the CTO of Agri-Food at Microsoft
Himanshu Gupta, Co-founder and CEO of ClimateAI
Dr Claudia Ringler, Deputy Director of Environment and Production Technology Division at the International Food Policy Research Institute
