Cultivate Workshops – Session 1

Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Applications in Agriculture

At this workshop, Grand Farm will be exploring artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in agriculture. By bringing together industry experts and thought leaders, Grand Farm hopes to advance the conversation of the role artificial intelligence will play in collecting, analyzing, and operationalizing the massive amounts of data in agriculture, as well as accelerating new technologies in agriculture.
Grower Workshop – Direct Dialogue with Growers – Located at the Prairie Den

The Consulate General of Canada in Minneapolis and the North Dakota Trade Office will explore how AgTech companies and partners can enable business opportunities by unlocking new markets. This workshop – designed for growers, AgTech start-ups, and large manufacturers – will discuss the value of cross-border partnering, challenges with international trade, and talk about other important considerations as you expand internationally.
Grower Workshop – Direct Dialogue with Growers
Growers are often the end users of technology in agriculture but if you ask most growers, they will tell you that they feel like they are not being listened to. Creating feedback loops between growers and technologists is crucially important. That’s why at this workshop, we invite you to connect and communicate directly with growers. We hope to bridge the gap between agriculture and technology by having conversations that are straightforward and meaningful.
EduConnect: Feeding Minds
Through this workshop, Grand Farm will seek to connect educators with professionals representing different careers in agriculture, science, and technology, and resources available in our region.
