2020 AG INNOVATION SHOWCASE

 
 

With the pandemic upending supply chains, the economic health and well-being of farms and farmers, and the continued assault on food and agriculture by climate change, disease and pests around the globe, we need to move more rapidly toward regenerative agriculture.

Nutrition, affordable access, new economic models and new distribution methodologies are within our grasp. What’s missing is action, needed on an unprecedented scale, involving all stakeholders unbridled by notions of what was possible, committed to what is necessary.

Join us for two days of rich content, sparkling dialogue, eye-popping innovations and engaged networking in this first virtual Ag Innovation Showcase, building on 11 years as the most exclusive gathering around food and agriculture.
