Gamaya, a Swiss AgTech startup active in smart farming, will participate in the Innovation Forum “From Hunger to Health”, to discuss how scientific innovation can help achieve the goal of global nutritional equality, how can we decrease the footprint of agriculture and increase farming yields, and how can we use resources more efficiently while generating less waste. The conference will take place at EPFL Rolex Learning Center in Lausanne on 17th of May 2016. Our CEO, Yosef Akhtman, will provide insightful speech about the Third Agricultural revolution and discuss fundamental changes needed to boost food productivity, nutrition, sustainability and production efficiency.
