How AI is enabling agricultural intelligence and revolutionizing farming

At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, Syngenta CEO Jeff Rowe emphasized that feeding a global population of 10 billion by 2050 requires "agricultural intelligence"—the fusion of decades of agronomic expertise with AI and data analytics. This technology is currently accelerating plant breeding, molecule discovery, and precision farming, with the potential to boost agricultural GDP in low- and middle-income countries by $450 billion annually. However, Rowe cautioned that bridging the digital divide and ensuring farmer ownership of data are critical for the responsible deployment of these tools.
