“How to bring a next generation of entrepreneurs to agriculture?”
Our global population is projected to rise to more than 9 billion people by 2050, a trend with substantial implications for the future of agriculture. Addressing the monumental challenge of sustainably feeding our growing nations means understanding the social, technological, economic, and environmental factors that impact the entrepreneurial ecosystems for agriculture and agribusiness. Studies have shown that there is mass migration as younger people are fleeing the countryside, abandoning traditional agricultural livelihoods for jobs in large urban metropolises. How can we address this paramount issue of having enough human and environment resources to feed our planet? This panel will bring together leading innovators to address the opportunities of entrepreneurship in agriculture and to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs seeking to ensure a sustainable food supply for posterity.
