The global agrifood system faces mounting challenges—from climate change and environmental degradation to geopolitical tensions—threatening food security worldwide. Building resilience requires a transformative approach, adapting agriculture to climate impacts and driving sustainability in food production. Startups, scale-ups, investors, scientists, and corporates, but above all, collaborations between those are essential for accelerating innovation and driving impactful change in the agrifood sector.
At the 10th F&A Next Summit, our keynote speakers, panel discussions, and break-out sessions will tackle the following topics:
- From tools to impact: measuring and financing sustainability
Sustainable food production is not just about new technologies—it requires a shift in how we measure and finance impact. How can we move from focusing on tools to achieving tangible outcomes? And how can innovative financial models, such as impact investing and natural capital accounting, support the transition? - Regenerative agriculture and sustainable practices
From regenerative farming to carbon sequestration, how do we build a food system that reduces harm and actively restores ecosystems? We explore the role of farmers, corporations, and investors in scaling sustainable agricultural practices while overcoming challenges such as financing and regulatory barriers. - The power of collaboration in food and health
The link between food and health is becoming increasingly apparent. New developments, such as obesity medications, will be most effective when combined with healthier food systems and behavioral change. How can the medical community, the food industry, and policymakers collaborate to create a future where food and health go hand in hand? - Innovation as a driving force: breakthroughs in agrifood
The agrifood sector is poised for transformative innovations, from AI-powered agriculture to breakthroughs in plant breeding and alternative proteins. But how do we ensure these innovations move beyond the lab and create real impact in the field and across the supply chain? - The farmer’s voice: from policy to practice
Farmers are at the heart of the food transition, yet they face rising costs, complex regulations, and limited market access. How can we amplify their voices, ensure they meet new sustainability goals, and fairly reward them?
