Future of Crops

Back to Future of Agriculture
Two illustrated scientists work in a greenhouse full of plants. One of the scientists is using a microscope and checking plants. The other scientist is helping nearby and collecting data.

Crop Genetics

The inside of an illustrated vertical farming greenhouse is shown with rows and rows of green plants. In the foreground, a scientist takes a close look at a plant that is in his hands.

Horticulture Crops

An illustrated drone sprays the canola crop below it. A farmer stands on the edge of the field monitoring the results.
