Join Bowie State University as we explore the next frontier of Smart Agriculture. Farmers will need to produce about 70% more food to meet the demand of the predicted 10 billion global population by 2050. A radical transformation is needed to become sustainable and food crisis reliable while combating challenges of climate change. The practice of the modern-day agricultural production must evolve to fulfill future food demands. 

Bowie State’s own Natural Sciences department is using world class technology in hydroponics, aquaponics, and vertical agriculture that can improve global agricultural productivity.
