Agri-Tech Reality Check: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Who Pays for Food System Transformation?

23 Sept 2026
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • Who is truly capturing the value created by agri-tech innovation – farmers, technology providers, investors, or the wider food supply chain?
  • Are we solving real productivity and resilience problems in agriculture, or primarily funding technologies that improve efficiency for intermediaries rather than farms?
  • Why is adoption of proven agri-tech solutions still inconsistent across farms – what is the real barrier: cost, trust, complexity, or misaligned incentives?
  • Can current policy frameworks support disruptive innovation, or are they structurally preserving the status quo?
  • Is the future of farming becoming more autonomous and data-driven in a way that strengthens rural economies – or concentrates control and risk in fewer global actors?
