Disruptive New Technologies Are Changing Global Agriculture Landscape
NEW INVESTMENTS ARE
CHANGING THE FUTURE
• More money invested in global
agriculture than any other time in
history - >$10 billion in 2015
• 2015 was a record year for AgTech
investments by VC communities,
$4.6 billion
THE PACE OF INNOVATION IS
ACCELERATING
• New technologies being applied
to ag products
• Artificial Intelligence poised to
have a big impact
• 200 companies seeking approvals
for new biotech products
NEW ENTRANTS INCREASE
TECHNOLOGIES
• Industry is increasingly complex
• New entrants everyday - startups
likely to drive future innovation
• Non-traditional and traditional
investors add new dynamic --
Google, universities, food
companies, distribution chains
