DPMA IPB University Social Entrepreneurship Supervisor, M Isbayu, in his speech emphasised the importance of applying digital technology in modern agriculture to increase efficiency and productivity.
“We hope that the CEO School participants can apply the knowledge gained today, so that they can become pioneers in the digital transformation of the agriculture and fisheries sector in Indonesia,” said Isbayu.
