Sustainability is a broad and popular topic. Renewable energy; energy transition; recycling and the circular economy; climate and environment; water and food – these topics are quickly maturing into fields of their own. But what is next for sustainability? What lies beyond what we now consider sustainable technologies and business practices, and how will they affect your industry? What does emerging government policy suggest will be the hot sustainability topics of the future? Join MIT faculty, researchers, and startups as we review core topics like energy and climate, but also explore new ones, like digital sustainability, sustainability for the built environment, and how we teach sustainability – both to the workforce of the present and the workforce of the future.
Adaviv provides a cultivation productivity tool to growers of high-value crops and enables them to de-risk while improving, top and bottom lines via increased yield and quality, while also gaining labor and resource savings. The crop care software operates in greenhouses and indoor farms, providing early alerts of pests, diseases and stress and tracks plant growth for continual cultivation improvement over every crop cycle.
