At CES 2025, held in January in Las Vegas, companies showcased sustainable farming technologies addressing climate change and labor shortages. John Deere unveiled a fleet of autonomous heavy equipment, including tractors capable of efficiently spraying pesticides and fertilizers. Kubota presented AI technology that detects crop diseases and pests, allowing for precise application of chemicals. This precision agriculture approach reduces chemical use and optimizes land utilization. Volvo and OshKosh Corporation highlighted their commitments to net-zero emissions and electric vehicles, respectively. Experts emphasized the necessity of climate-smart technologies to support farmers facing unpredictable weather and environmental pressures.
Sustainability is a key theme this year at the annual tech trade show in Las Vegas. From Volvo CEO Martin Lundstedt announcing their commitment to net-zero emissions by 2040 to Wisconsin-based OshKosh Corporation showing off its electric fire engines and garbage trucks, companies big and small are showcasing their green innovations and initiatives. That much is clear on the CES show floor, where farming is on full display and company leaders are highlighting the impacts of climate change and labor shortages on farmers.
Not far from John Deere’s booth where autonomous tractors and dump trucks are towering over conference attendees, Kubota, another equipment manufacturing company, is showcasing its AI technology that detects diseases in crops and sprays where pests have been identified.
