At a recent forum on digital innovation, UN expert Macro Silvestri called for stronger global cooperation to tackle pressing agricultural challenges. \"Asia-Pacific countries can learn from each other and work together to overcome these hurdles,\" said Silvestri, Deputy Head of the UN ESCAP Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization.
Highlighting the role of tech in farming, Silvestri emphasized how tools like AI-powered crop monitoring and blockchain supply chains could revolutionize food security. \"China\u2019s advancements in sustainable practices offer valuable lessons,\" he noted, pointing to cross-border knowledge sharing as critical for climate-resilient agriculture.
The forum also spotlighted youth-driven startups merging tradition with innovation—think drone-assisted rice planting or apps connecting farmers directly to markets. With over 80% of the world\u2019s small-scale farms located in Asia-Pacific, Silvestri\u2019s message resonates as a blueprint for feeding future generations.
