Dr. Aitazaz A Farooque also showcased to the Minister how innovative technology is being developed to cut off greenhouse gas emissions through precision agriculture, and Dr. Xiuquan Wang gave a brief overview of his Climate Smart Lab, as well as other technologies that have been established to address future climate change in PEI and beyond.
