By the year 2050, we will need to produce at least 50% more food to keep up with population growth and demographic shift. However, natural resources like arable land and potable water are limited. Growth will need to involve innovative solutions, technologies and efforts across the supply chain from the field to the fork. Business leaders will be integral to growing the industry and steering the many companies that support the sector. We see this challenge as an opportunity to generate value and impact in multi-disciplinary, fast paced and dynamic industry.
