Hello

I’m Sunniya Pirzada, a London-based freelance journalist currently working for CGTN Europe’s digital team.

We are looking to report on how technology is helping farmers adapt to climate change. I was wondering if you can connect me with someone at FAO who will know a bit about

- using Artificial Intelligence for weather forecast
- how is innovation helping farmers and growers
- is there any Chinese technology that is being developed/used?

Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Sunniya
