We are counting down to the Animal AgTech Innovation Summit happening next week in San Francisco! Our team members Lisbeth Jacobs, Sarah Adams and Doug Jones will be in attendance, with Lisbeth also speaking on a panel discussing 'Preparing for the Future: Improving Automation and Precision Systems to Boost Production with Less Labour". What topics do you think should be getting some global attention with these #AnimalAgTech leaders?

Was a great privilege to hold a collaborative webinar with AusAgritech & Ability Agriculture one of the first open discussions around agtech enabling accessibility in agriculture & the importance of this for farmers & agricultural workers where adaptations & accessibility can also be a key enabler in facilitating individuals to thrive, adapt & succeed in agriculture. #abilityagriculture #disabilityinclusion #agribusiness #entrepreneurship #agtech #startups

Identifying future scenarios over the next 10-20 years is pointless… …if that’s where the conversation stops 🛑 We’ve been experimenting with design-led approaches to help different types of users engage with future scenarios and tangibly use them in guiding future actions. In this most recent instalment, this week we hosted a hackathon with a diverse cross-section of scientists, innovators and thought leaders across CSIRO to identify the critical R&D pathways needed to support a positive, sustainable and resilient future for Australia’s farming systems. This forms part of a broader program of work called Ag2050, which you can read more about here: https://lnkd.in/gRhsBSEF Our participants described the hackathon as a great way to gain a deeper appreciation of the complexity and uncertainty around the future of agriculture and how they can bring a diverse range of perspectives into the mix when designing future solutions. …and dare I say, they also had a lot of *fun* in the process! 🤸♀️ I’m keen to learn more from other practitioners who are working at the intersection of design thinking and foresight, as well as other innovative ways to apply foresight insights. If that’s you 👉 let’s chat! Big shout out to the amazing team behind me who helped make this event happen - Cara Stitzlein, Frank Sperling, Rose Roche and Marni Williams (nee Tebbutt) – including some incredible illustrations from Gavin Blake to help capture our journey across the day.

🌿 Find below my interview at The Gap in Between startup conference in Valencia, thrilled to share some key insights from the discussion on MOSS.Earth climate tech initiatives in the Amazon rainforest. 🌳🌎 🚀 At MOSS.Earth, we're passionate about making a positive impact on our planet. We develop and manage conservation, biochar and reforestation projects in the Amazon forest, leveraging cutting-edge deep tech and satellite monitoring. 🛰️ 💡 Here are some highlights: 🌱 Deep Tech for Conservation: We use the most advanced technology for satellite monitoring, enabling us to track and protect the Amazon's biodiversity like never before. 🌟 Voluntary Carbon Credit Market: We're contributing to the fight against climate change by participating in the voluntary carbon credit market, supporting global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. 🤝 Collaboration is Key: To succeed, we need the support of many stakeholders. Investors, technology providers (AI experts, machine learning experts, forestry experts), and an extensive startup and impact investment network are vital to our mission. 🌐 Our project is capital-intensive, and we're looking for partners who share our passion for sustainability and innovation. 🌏 Let's join forces to protect the Amazon and combat climate change together! If you're interested in collaborating or learning more, reach out to us. We're excited to connect with like-minded individuals and organizations. 💚 🔗 #ClimateTech #AmazonConservation #Sustainability #DeepTech #CarbonCredits #StartupInvestment #ImpactInvesting #ClimateAction #BrazilTech #SustainableFuture Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dTGKD5v8 Together, we can make a difference! 🌍💪 #TheGapInBetween #ValenciaStartupConference #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalProtection #esg #amazonforest #brazil #carboncredits #climatetech Social Nest Foundation Saimar Matheus Bolívar

Earlier this week, AERS and ACRM faculty Dr. Christopher McIntosh, Dr. Hernan Tejeda, and Dr. Xiaoli Liao Etienne had the opportunity to attend the Larry Branen Idaho Ag Summit organized by Leadership Idaho Agriculture. While there, they were able to meet with legislators, attend informational sessions, and network with industry leaders. The theme of this year's summit, "Seeds of Change: Navigating the Future of Idaho Agriculture," resonated strongly with the ACRM program. It reaffirmed our commitment to supporting a thriving and sustainable agricultural industry in Idaho through research, education, and outreach focused on risk management. #riskmanagment #uidahocommodity #uicals #idahoagriculture

👀 reading tip! “Small animal, big business'' | In DUTCH. "It was a period of pioneering and persevering. Battling against legislation, developing technology, and opening markets. And now, we're kicking it up a notch."

For the third episode of our CEO Dialogues, CropLife International’s President and CEO, Emily Rees, interviewed Mark Douglas, President and CEO of FMC Corporation, the Agricultural Science Company. Mark emphasizes that both the integration of diverse technologies and the empowerment of growers are crucial to addressing the urgent challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss. He adds that the interests of the farmers should always be prioritized, considering the information, technologies, and training required for them to undertake the monumental task of feeding the world.

🔥 start-up alert 🔥 For anyone in my network interested in the prevention of food-waste by shelf-life prediction, I would like to raise some awareness for the i-challenge startup (https://i-challenge.be/) - recently founded by my former CMET colleague Wendy Ossieur and Ghent University FBE colleagues Katrien Begyn and Frank Devlieghere. While, at KYTOS, we focus on microbiome management to improve sustainability in primary agriculture production, I-Challenge focuses on preventing post-harvest food losses by easy shelf-life prediction - it is great to see how the Ghent University start-up ecosytem is contributing to a more sustainable food value chain by understanding the microbiome and providing science-backed tools to manage it 🔬 . #ugent #microbiome #foodandbeverage #sustainability

🌟 As the General Assembly 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a final day which started with insightful parallel sessions, each designed to harness our collective expertise and drive our mission forward. 🔹 "The Community of Practice for Climate Smart Coaches" Facilitated by Laure Triste - ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek), this session was a dynamic exchange of experiences among CSCs. It strengthened connections and fostered a robust network, pivotal for advancing sustainable agricultural practices worldwide. 🔹 "Input for the Upcoming “Network of Research Stations” Led by Luís Mira da Silva - CONSULAI and primarily attended by Thematic Leaders, this session gathered critical input to shape a collaborative network that will significantly enhance our research capabilities, ensuring that our work remains cutting-edge and globally relevant. 🔹 "Interested in Designing a CoDIE?" With Cynthia Giagnocavo - Universidad de Almería at the helm, this workshop invited participants to contribute to the design of CoDIES, setting the groundwork for improved information sharing and innovation dissemination. Each session today not only reflected the depth of knowledge within our community but also reinforced our commitment to a sustainable future. As we conclude this year's assembly, we look forward to the incredible strides we will make together in the coming year. #GeneralAssembly2024 #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateSmartFarming #InnovationInAgriculture #ProfessionalNetworking
