Citizens may benefit from more stable food prices and more sustainable agricultural practices.
Key points
Establishing standards for precision agriculture technologies, such as GPS systems, sensors, and artificial intelligence, to facilitate their adoption.
Supporting the development of technologies that help farmers save water, fertilizers, and fuel, potentially lowering food production costs.
