Why should you attend Agriculture 2.0 Global Markets?
Agriculture faces continuously increasing demand pressures stemming from population growth, the westernization of global diets, and the popularization of biofuels. At the same time, the supply side is stressed by the availability and cost of natural resource inputs like arable land, fresh water, and fossil fuels. Organic food consumption in the United States has grown at a rate of nearly 20% per year for the past decade. But demand for sustainably-produced food and agricultural products is surging globally.
At this groundbreaking conference, thought leaders on the cutting edge of agriculture's future will discuss the most promising ideas and companies from around the world.
