This document provides an agenda and instructions for a webinar on building consortia for the Farming Innovation Pathways competition. The webinar will include presentations on the competition overview and guidance, followed by pre-recorded presentations on selected industry challenges. Participants will then break into virtual rooms to discuss challenges and develop ideas, guided by facilitators. They will switch rooms periodically. The goal is to connect farmers, innovators, researchers and businesses to develop solutions to farming challenges.
