• Agrievolution Summit sessions in Buenos Aires emphasized data connectivity, remote monitoring and a rapid move toward automation across tractors, planters, harvesters and sprayers.
• Speakers detailed AI‑assisted and drone‑enabled selective spraying that can cut herbicide use by roughly 80% and reduce fuel use, CO2 emissions and production costs.
• Argentina’s grain‑in‑bag system, developed domestically for dry grain, has become a global export package of machines, bags and know‑how now used in more than 50 countries.
• FAO officials recounted using tens of thousands of silobags to safeguard Ukrainian harvests after silo losses, citing 75 million tonnes prewar capacity with large portions destroyed, occupied or blocked.
