🔍 Why this series?

Over the past 10 years, the AgTech sector has experienced incredible growth, with innovations that have transformed the way we approach farming: from precision agriculture, robotics, to artificial intelligence and sensors. 🌱🚜

However, despite this rapid growth, the AgTech industry is currently facing a crisis:

Many technologies, despite their potential, struggle to gain widespread adoption among farmers.
High costs and complex implementation often deter small to mid-sized farms from investing in new technologies.
The gap between innovators and end users remains large, with a lack of communication and practical adaptation on the ground.
The return on investment (ROI) for many of these technologies remains unclear, leaving manufacturers and farmers uncertain about long-term benefits.

📅 How will it work? How to follow this journey ?

Every Thursday until Christmas 2024, we’ll release a new episode with key insights to help you turn your ideas into successful field projects.
