Driving South American Agri-Innovation Through Global Collaboration

The World Agri-Tech South America Summit returns to São Paulo on June 23-24, for the highly anticipated seventh edition. It will bring together 600+ global and regional leaders from across the agri-food value chain, from farming and agribusinesses to food brands, bioenergy producers, technology providers, research institutions, government bodies, investors, and innovative start-ups.

At the heart of agenda is South America’s pivotal role in feeding the world while cutting agricultural emissions. Discussions will explore how biologicals, regenerative agriculture, supportive government action, and a growing willingness to embrace change are accelerating South America’s transition towards a more sustainable and competitive ag industry.
