Tools, machines and technologies have made our lives easier. Simple hand tools to advanced motorized equipment can fundamentally transform the way we farm. They can help us produce crops more efficiently and sustainably by…
1 Improving our use of natural resources.
2 Increasing farmers’ resilience to climate change.
3 Reducing the need for heavy labour and soil disturbance.
4 Enhancing the timeliness of farming operations, from seeding to pest management to harvesting.

It can open up new markets and career paths for young people and women, on and off farms. Sustainable mechanization can improve the livelihoods of millions of people, and ensure there is enough food for everyone.
