[...] These rec- ommendations are meant to be actionable, leaning into current public initiatives and private sector momentum, and to identify key stakeholders and partners for the purposes of building a groundswell of support for AgTech innovation as a pathway to a more resilient and sustain- able food system. [...] While we have barely skimmed the surface of the complexity of AgTech innovation, the recommendations generated from this paper are designed to help generate momentum for bridging the gap between food producers’ needs for better solutions and consumers’ trust in the food supply, and for ensuring the integration of AgTech innovation for a more sustainable and resilient future food system.

[...] About the Center on Global Food and Agriculture We seek to advance a more sustainable and resilient food system by addressing challenges facing our planet and the most vulnerable farmers and consumers, to find solutions that inform and shape policy, and to provide leadership in America’s heartland and beyond.
