One of the big themes at the World Economic Forum (WEF) for the last couple of years has been artificial intelligence (AI), and the future of food and agriculture is something that's absolutely critical. Nadir Godrej, Chairperson of Godrej Agrovet, in an interview to NDTV at Davos said artificial intelligence has a big role to play in the food sector, and Godrej Agrovet is using AI in several areas.
"We have a crop-protection business where we produce chemicals that help to protect crops. We use photographs to find crop diseases. AI studies the photographs of the crops and determines what kind of disease it is, and that is very useful," Mr Godrej said.
