Now in its fourth year, the summit boasts an audience of local and international stakeholders in South America’s flourishing agri-food ecosystem, as well as an expert speaking faculty comprised of growers, agribusinesses, food corporates, start-ups, investors, and government agencies. Providing a bird’s-eye view of how technologies are increasing productivity for some of the largest farming systems in the world, the summit explores how new investments, collaborations and distribution systems are helping bring advanced Agri-tech solutions to scale. From biologicals and soil health to carbon markets and fintech, the in-depth agenda will showcase the vast potential of this region to drive a global transition to sustainable and climate-smart farming practices. Complementing the main plenary will be a full schedule of interactive break-out sessions, networking receptions, and 1-1 meetings to make it easier and faster to exchange ideas and identify future partners. With a regional content focus and international delegation, the summit offers an invaluable platform for sharing best practice, making new connections, and forming long-lasting business relationships.
