"Being part of AgriFoodTure and having partners is crucial for us, both in terms of economic support and building relationships." 🤝🧑🤝🧑💡 That's the message from David S. Miller, co-founder of AgriFoodTure partner Ambient Carbon. The startup company is a partner in the AgriFoodTure project PERMA and works as such in the labs at the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. "This is perfect for us because, as a small startup, setting up a lab alone could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Additionally, having access to agricultural experts and methane experts at Aarhus University allows us to leverage their knowledge," says David S. Miller.   Would you also like to be part of driving the green transformation of agriculture and food production? 🚀🌿🌱   Join us now: https://lnkd.in/erGpxbcV #greentransition #climateaction #agrifood

This week, I have the honor of attending World Agri-Tech Summit in San Francisco for the first time. I’m here as a board member of Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, sharing how FFAR brings together critical public/private partnerships to advance agriculture research to benefit US farmers. I am amazed at the quality and depth of innovation on display here. Clear to me: it isn’t a lack of creativity that holds ag innovation back in the US. Yet commercializing innovation continues to face numerous barriers. What do you think the most critical challenges to bringing innovation to farmers are? How can we fast track solutions?

With great enthusiasm, we conclude our participation in the latest edition of The World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in San Francisco. This meeting is a gathering point for key industry players, from groundbreaking startups to visionary investors, all united by a common goal: to accelerate growth and technological development in our region's agricultural sector. 🚀 The discussions we witnessed on how AI is transforming agriculture have reaffirmed our commitment to developing a wide range of services to drastically accelerate the time required to design new varieties of adapted crops. This approach shifts from reactive production strategies to a predictive and proactive focus, opening doors to previously unimaginable possibilities for global agriculture. 🌍 We are deeply grateful for the inspiring conversations and the new connections. This event has reaffirmed our commitment to continue working towards a more efficient, sustainable, and productive agriculture 🌾 #AgriTech #Innovación #InteligenciaArtificial #AgriculturaFuturista #Cálice

🚀 Call for #AgTech solutions: Apply to innovate! Australia's position as a global leader in grains production is well-recognised, with the country supplying a wide range of grains for food, fuel and feedstock across the world. However, to maintain and enhance this global leadership, there is a pressing need for innovation in technology that addresses key industry challenges such as productivity, yield, efficiencies, costs, and market volatility. GRDC business development manager Tim Spencer said that to address these challenges, GRDC had invested in a series of innovation programs aimed at getting start-up ideas off the ground and into the paddock for grain growers. “This program is part of a series of GRDC investments aimed at supporting novel and innovative technology and business concepts, particularly those arising directly from non-traditional sources such as innovative growers and entrepreneurs,” Dr Spencer said. “We recognise that growers and agricultural professionals often devise novel solutions out of necessity. Our aim is to empower these individuals to see themselves as agtech pioneers, providing them with the tools and support to elevate their ideas from the field to the forefront of the industry.” Spearheaded by Cicada's Head of Technology, Hebbat Manhy, the initiative aims to enrol up to 80 participants over two years, with a focus on advancing the grains industry through innovative deep tech solutions and enhanced farming practices. “Our goal is to nurture the development of groundbreaking solutions that address the unique challenges faced by the Australian grains industry," Ms Manhy explained. "AgTech Elevate offers a rapid, immersive course to hone innovations with potential to impact the ag market, providing teams with the industry-specific insights, network connections, and the strategic plan necessary to confidently advance their venture within the grains sector.” 🔗 Full article: https://bit.ly/3vUYYyb 🔗 More info: https://bit.ly/3JfL4tI #AusAgTech | Cicada Innovations
