AgTech Innovations and Techniques

The video introduces AgTech, an industry at the intersection of agriculture and technology, divided into tech-assisted, new, and revolutionary farming. Tech-assisted farming combines current technologies with farming strategies to enhance efficiency, exemplified by Dot, an autonomous platform. New farming applies technologies to create new techniques like vertical farming. Revolutionary farming develops new technologies, such as canola, through genetic modification. Saskatchewan leads in AgTech with significant funding and innovation, emphasizing its importance for future economic success.

What are the three subcategories of AgTech?
