Water management is becoming a critical challenge across many farming systems, requiring more precise, efficient, and resilient irrigation practices. This roundtable will explore how AgTech and automation are reshaping irrigation, from monitoring and decision-support tools to automated systems in the field. What solutions are already delivering value? What are the limits in real farm conditions? And how can technology better support growers facing increasing constraints on water use? Bringing together different perspectives, this session will provide a broad view of current innovations and practical pathways forward.
