This session highlights breakthrough innovations reshaping the frontier of water-smart agriculture, from next-generation soil and crop intelligence tools to resilient crop varieties and circular water technologies that enable climate-smart water use at scale.
Experts in water management, finance and early-stage innovation come together to discuss where the biggest climate impact can be achieved, what barriers are slowing adoption and how startups and established industry players can collaborate to accelerate a water-efficient future for global food systems. A timely and urgent conversation for everyone invested in building a resilient agrifood sector for generations to come.
