Unprecedented growth and resilience could be unlocked in the #Agri sector by technology, as it remains the least digitized productive sector. Join us at IFC - International Finance Corporation’s 2nd Agribusiness Conference in Dublin this September to discuss how we can expand and accelerate the adoption of #AgTech to support more productive and sustainable agriculture and food systems. 🗓 September 18-19, 2024 Register 👉 http://wrld.bg/u2U950SvUsZ #IFCAgriConference Wagner Albuquerque de Almeida, Henrik Elschner Pedersen, Anup Jagwani, Yosuke (Yo) Kotsuji, Zeina Mouawad, Alan Johnson,

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.

South Sudan has just been revealed as the host of the world's largest land mammal migration, with around six million antelopes. This migration showcases the resilience of nature and the importance of conservation efforts. Many organizations are working to protect these creatures and their habitats, balancing the needs of wildlife and local communities. Read more about this incredible migration and the efforts to protect it in the recent The Guardian article: https://lnkd.in/evU3izVf #IFCForestry #IFCAgribusiness
Majestic and momentous images from South Sudan of the movement of 6 million antelopes, rivaling other celebrated great migrations of mammals on the African continent. Watching the antelopes in motion reaffirms our indisputable obligation to pursue important conservation efforts that respect nature’s immense power, including, for example, through sustainable tourism. https://lnkd.in/eyJb9esg
