From renovation to innovation: How R&D and AgTech venture can collaborate to accelerate food sustainability

11:30 - 12:15

While there is approximately US$80 billion in climate finance available globally, only 2.4% is directed toward the agriculture and forestry sectors. This means that a sustainable future for agriculture depends on more than innovation. We need collaboration to meet the costs and close the funding gap for food systems.

R&D and AgTech hold the keys to transforming food and agriculture, but only through strategic partnerships can they drive real change. This session will dive into how industry and venture collaboration can accelerate the shift from incremental renovation to disruptive innovations. We will explore:

How we can drive major advancements through cross-industry collaboration
Which partnerships show it works: What kind of solutions are moving from concept to market?
How we can align R&D and AgTech investments to bridge the current gap in food system fundin
