Agri-Tech Reality Check: Who Wins, Who Loses, and Who Pays for Food System Transformation?
- Who is truly capturing the value created by agri-tech innovation – farmers, technology providers, investors, or the wider food supply chain – and as capital flows into agriculture, can family farms stay competitive, or will scale increasingly determine who invests, grows, and survives?
- 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 – is the real barrier cost, trust, complexity, or misaligned incentives – and can current financing models support both farm succession and technology adoption, or are they making transition harder for the next generation?
- 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?
