The environment surrounding agriculture has been changing dramatically in many ways in recent years. This change is not limited to changes in environmental factors such as climate change. For example, technological advances such as the introduction of AI (artificial intelligence) and ICT (information and communication technology), the coming into force of various trade agreements, and systemic changes such as amendments to the Seed Act, Seed and Seedlings Act, and other agricultural-related laws and regulations are also occurring daily.
