The agricultural sector finds itself in a unique position – it is both affected by, and is a significant contributor to, climate change. Traditional farming practices are becoming difficult to maintain in the face of significant changes to the environment contributed to by those self-same practices.
Yet technological innovations in the agricultural sector are helping to break this cycle, finding unique ways to address the balance between global food security for an ever-increasing population and the need to reduce our environmental footprint.
In this overview, we throw a spotlight on some of the many promising technological advances in the agriculture industry and highlight the intellectual property rights that may be available both to incentivize and protect these technological advances.
