At this year’s Top Crop Summit, University of Nebraska’s Patricio Grassini outlined the reasons for the new Global Yield Gap Atlas project. With increase for food demand predicted over the next 30 years due to population increase and higher calorie intake, food production will be challenged. Current crop yields are not sufficient to meet that extra demand on existing cropland areas. The challenge is meeting the growing demand through sustainable systems, ensuring that every hectare of existing cropland produces to its potential. Further research explores the yield potential in the Prairies, as well as the yield gaps.

Our panelists parse our survey results and discuss the positive impacts of ag tech and how to communicate them.
