From Insight to Impact: Driving Agricultural Innovation with AI

​As environmental pressures intensify and water scarcity threatens agricultural productivity, the need for transformative innovation in soil and water management has never been more urgent.

​Co-hosted by IBM and The New York Climate Exchange, this session spotlights a pioneering collaboration between the IBM Impact Accelerator and Texas A&M AgriLife Research. Designed to democratize access to critical water and soil insights, SWAT VEXA (Soil & Water Assessment Tool Virtual Extension Assistant) empowers farmers, researchers, policymakers, and land managers with tailored, data-driven guidance to support sustainable decision-making. This session will explore how cutting-edge AI is being harnessed to drive a paradigm shift in agricultural resilience, enabling smarter resource management.
