CANBERRA — Innovation has been one of the main drivers in agricultural production over the last decade, helping to reduce waste and improve yields.
Céline Nauges, research director at the French Institute for Research in Agriculture, told Devex that in the coming decades as the world moves forward with its targets to feed a growing population nutritious food, it will continue to be an important factor in the success of these goals.
“Innovation is important for us to understand because it helps increase productivity in agriculture and increasing productivity helps, of course, in increasing output — and global nutrition,” she said.
