Technology has changed dramatically over the last twenty years. Thanks to its rapid development, we explore, interact, buy and live differently. Agriculture is no exception. Growers can no longer work without satellites, drones and artificial intelligence. Technologies that help to collect data are becoming very important. However, perception of modern agriculture can be quite different – from a small farmer in a cab of old tractor to highly mechanized operations full of tractors and thousands of hectares. Sometimes it may seem that only high-tech farms use digital technology. But this is not quite true. Similar to how everyone on the planet uses smartphones, growers protect their crops with digital technology. But can digitalization really transform agriculture? Can a farmer grow more using less?
This is what we will discuss on December 2 during the panel discussion “Transformation of Agriculture through Digital Technology”:
These and other important topics our participants will be discussing during the panel discussion:

Tourism.” “The dynamics of the recovery of the Ukrainian market is better than the optimistic scenario in Europe – 56% according to Eurocontrol … We see today a recovery in passenger traffic: it is due to a deferred demand, charter and low cost segments,” Dubrevsky said.According to him, the volume of charter flights amounted to 3.3 million passengers in the ten months of 2021, most of the charters are served by four airlines: Azur Air, UIA, SkyUp and Windrose. Since the beginning of the year, 468,000 passengers have passed through Boryspil airport on domestic flights.The CEO added that the low cost segment accounts for up to 40% of passenger traffic, while the transit traffic fell sharply.He specified that Boryspil accounts for over 60% of all air transportation in Ukraine.Among the priority investment projects for the next two to three years, the airport’s general director named a new air zone, the modernization of the cargo terminal, a bus station for passengers, an extension of the apron of Terminal D and a private aviation center.“About UAH 1.7 billion is planned for these projects, now we have this money,” he said.In the presentation, the airport’s needs for investments in the airfield infrastructure were estimated at UAH 9 billion, cargo transportation – UAH 3 billion, passenger – UAH 5 billion.
