Agricultural technology is driving innovation as demand increases for sustainable food, water, and energy production to support a growing global population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Investors are recognizing agriculture technology, or agri-tech, as a promising sector for investment given poor returns in other industries and long-term global demand for increased food. Technologies being developed include biological solutions to replace toxic chemicals, big data analytics, and animal health advances. A global corporate venturing symposium discussed the rising importance of agricultural technologies like sensors and algorithms to address these challenges of sustainably feeding more people.
