A thriving and sustainable agribusiness sector is critical to the achievement of nine of the 2030 development goals, including the elimination of poverty and hunger. Technology and digitalization have been powerful forces for disruptive change in many sectors around the world. However, agriculture remains the least digitized productive sector. There is a huge unrealized potential for the use of #AgTech to support more productive and sustainable agriculture and food systems. Join IFC’s 2nd Agribusiness Conference in Dublin on September 18-19, where we will explore how to accelerate the adoption and expansion of technology to increase the productivity, efficiency, and resilience of farmers and food systems in emerging markets.
