MLS210-6: From seed to store: AI to optimize the indoor farms of the future
For the last 10,000 years, large scale agriculture has lived outdoors, optimized to withstand unpredictable environmental conditions and long supply chains. But what possibilities do you unlock when you can control every single environmental factor, from the light intensity to nutrient mix to air flow? In this talk, Bowery Farming EVP of Science & Technology Henry Sztul shares how machine learning and computer vision can be used in indoor vertical farms to optimize and scale agricultural production to create higher yielding, better tasting, safer and more sustainably locally grown produce in cities around the world.
