The Big Questions Facing Agtech in 2017
As we approach the New Year, we can look forward to a year of great change, both politically and economically, and to a new, more advanced era in agtech development and adoption.
The World Agri-Tech Investment Summit, hosted in San Francisco on March 28-29, will address the big questions facing the industry in 2017. In consultation with our Expert Advisory Board, we have created a dynamic and interactive agenda, to stimulate debate and facilitate connections between US and international agtech leaders.
The Big Questions Facing Agtech in 2017

Soil Health & the Plant Microbiome: Which technologies are going to move the needle in terms of increased yield?
The New Face of Innovation: How are smaller companies re-writing the model for accelerating R&D to the field?
Accelerating On-Farm Commercialisation: To what extent can business models that share risk and reward with the farmer encourage on-farm adoption?
