Tony Ndora hosts a discussion on biosecurity in agriculture with guests from McCain Foods South Africa, University of Pretoria, Bayer, and John Deere. They explore how agricultural technology and safety practices adapted during COVID-19.

This week on Tech Terrain, we discuss the very important issue of biosecurity. The COVID 19 pandemic indirectly raised renewed awareness on this topic. A lot of science and technology development goes into optimizing crops, protecting animals, and ensuring safety. We welcome in studio ibi Urstason from McCain Foods South Africa and Dr. Matlo Calaba from the University of Pretoria. We talked to Dirk Ace and Tilibali Nepumbada from Bayer about the fine balance between optimizing production and risk. You can also look forward to the John Deere team discussing developments in sprayer technology. Join me, Tony Ndora on Tech Terrain this week powered by John Deere in collaboration with Farmers Weekly and Brand Republic.
