10. The New Value Equation: What Makes Agrifoodtech Investable Now?

23 Sept 2026
Roundtable 10
Roundtables

Agrifood is a ~$10 trillion global system, yet we still ask much of its innovation to compete on narrow measures of farm ROI, input savings, and cost parity. As investment contracts and breakthrough technologies remain stuck between farmers who can’t pay more and corporates that struggle to move fast enough, is the sector trapped in a commodity value equation that limits its own growth? This roundtable will explore how we can expand the economic pie, where new value pools can be created and captured, who needs to participate to unlock them, and what must change in investment thinking to get agrifood innovation moving again.

You'll find this session particularly valuable if you're a: Managing Partner / General Partner, AgTech Venture Capital; Head of Corporate Venture Capital / Strategic Investments; Chief Investment Officer, Impact or Growth Equity Fund; VP New Business Models / Value Creation; Founder/CEO, Agrifoodtech Startup; Head of Sustainable Finance / Blended Finance; Director of M&A / Corporate Development, Agribusiness; Chief Economist / Head of Market Insights, Agrifood Investment Bank
