Reflections on 2023 Food and Agriculture Supply Chain Trends By S2G Ventures This is S2G Venture's second installment of a series looking back on its report, "Trends Shaping the Future of Food in 2023." "In March of 2023, we published a white paper entitled “Trends Shaping the Future of Food in 2023.” Almost a year later, we explore the year’s events that influenced the evolution of each trend and our view on its momentum going into the new year. In our last piece, we reflected on how our agtech trends fared in 2023. This article explores how our 2023 food and agriculture supply chain trends held up." https://hubs.li/Q02m1MpK0

What intrigues retailers about biological products? What reservations might they have? This is exactly what we will dig into at Stratus Ag Research -- understanding the complex dynamics of the biologicals market from a retailer’s perspective. We want to uncover their levels of product familiarity, confidence in manufacturers, and the perceived reliability of biological brands. These factors influence their willingness to recommend biologicals to growers, providing an interesting story about the evolving relationships between manufacturers, retailers, and end-use farmers. How do you think we can strengthen this crucial retailer-manufacturer dynamic? #AgTech #Agribusiness #Agriculture

I'm excited to share research findings from a study I conducted with amazing collaborators including Alexa Lamm, Kristin Davis, Katie Sanders, Ph.D., Alyssa Schmidt, and Jiyea Park focused on the professionalization of Extension services. As agricultural systems grow more complex, establishing professional standards for Extension services is critical. Learn how cultivating professional identity and strategic alignment can strengthen Extension’s role in agriculture and the food system.

Weeds can affect food production in agricultural systems, decreasing product quality and productivity due to the competition for natural resources. As such, there is a need to carry out an effective and sustainable weed management process, integrating the various control methods in a harmonious way without harming the entire agrarian ecosystem. We invite you to submit your findings related to several topics of weed research to this Special Issue. In particular, submissions are invited on, but are not limited to, the following topics with particular emphasis on robotics; image processing and precision weed control; decision support systems; integrated weed management; and data knowledge discovery and weed science.

When I first started in agriculture, I didn’t realize how much science goes into every decision. 📊 Whether it's protein analysis or harvest scheduling, every step is data-driven to ensure the best possible results. Six years later, I’m proud of how far I’ve come in crop management and international exports, and I’m excited to keep learning and growing in this field. #CropQuality #AgricultureInnovation"

Are you interested in learning more about a farm data strategy or would you just like to discuss some of the challenges you are facing with farm data? Let's talk over coffee.

We are extremely proud to share two significant updates today that are not only big steps forward for our company, but also for realizing the global promise of gene editing technology in agriculture: 1) We have formed a five-year joint venture with Corteva Agriscience to accelerate the delivery of advanced gene editing products and technology, and develop crops that are more resilient to extreme weather events and climate change. 2) In parallel to this new collaboration, we have closed a $40M Series C funding round. Investors including Deerfield Management, Aliment Capital, and Leaps by Bayer, are joined by new investor Corteva through its Corteva Catalyst platform. Investments from this funding round will be used to scale our innovative product pipeline, including seedless berries and pitless cherries, as well as advance our industry-leading Fulcrum™ Platform. “Gene editing is poised to revolutionize agriculture, enabling the cultivation of crops that are more adaptive to climate change, are more nutritious and convenient for consumers, and deliver greater economics for growers. Through our Fulcrum™ Platform, we’re proud to be at the helm of applying this transformative technology in agriculture and, alongside partners like Corteva, accelerate the realization of these benefits across global stakeholders.” - Tom Adams, Pairwise Co-Founder and CEO Read the two announcements in our newsroom here: https://hubs.li/Q02Q1L3R0 #keepgrowing #innovateboldly #pairwise #corteva #cortevacatalyst #geneediting #precisonbreeding #fundraise #startup #investment #agtech #agrifoodtech #agritech #agriculture #farming #agribusiness #innovation #technology #tech #foodtech #foodsecurity #sustainability #climatechange
