When SmartCitiesWorld was launched five years ago, agriculture and food production weren’t identified as being among the vertical sectors which we would cover. After all, our preoccupation was cities and advanced technology. The focus on resilience and sustainability though, especially in the context of climate change, has meant that to tackle many urban challenges, it is impossible to overlook these areas.

The tragedy of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to think differently. This has led to some stunning technological breakthroughs - you only have to think of the lightning quick development of vaccines for one - and innovative new uses of existing technology.

The Covid-19 pandemic has underlined the centrality of technology to our lives - "you’re on mute" has become a catchphrase of frequent (too frequent?) Zoom meetings and videocalling has been an essential means for catching up with family or friends.

The world’s most striking cities are almost certainly the most congested: whether London, New York, Istanbul, Paris, the list goes on. While Covid-19 related lockdowns led to a fall in traffic in our major cities, as things gradually, thankfully open again, roads are going to be packed once more.

George Orwell had a point when he once wrote: “The planting of a tree, especially one of the long-living hardwood trees, is a gift which you can make to posterity at almost no cost and with almost no trouble, and if the tree takes root it will far outlive the visible effect of any of your other actions, good or evil.”
