Rethinking Approaches to Achieving Sustainable Development Goals In An Era Of Smart Computing - Professor Athula Ginige and Dr Bahman Javadi Jahantigh In-Person / Online
Public Thought Leadership Event
Food security is essential for the survival of humankind and is linked to many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each SDG has some connection to other SDGs creating a complex web of interconnected systems. At a fundamental level, these interconnections facilitate the exchange of knowledge, material, services, and money. Smart Computing can facilitate these exchanges to significantly enhance economic, social, and environmental outcomes.
In this seminar, we will show practical applications of Smart Computing to achieve food security by creating Digital Agrifood Ecosystems. Unlike traditional digital agriculture, digital agrifood ecosystems take a holistic approach by integrating various stakeholders in the food system, including farmers, consumers, supply chains, agriculture extension and other service providers, and policymakers. It enhances the flow of information among these stakeholders, enabling them to coordinate activities leading to improved productivity, distribution, quality, and food availability, focusing on achieving food security. These ecosystems leverage advances in digital technologies, social computing, inferencing, predictive, and generative computational techniques to create necessary information flows to facilitate the timely and context-specific exchange of knowledge, material (inputs and harvest), and money. We will present some case studies of application of these innovations in agriculture practices in Sri Lanka, India, and Africa.
