While making the Innovating AgTech documentary I spoke to a lot of different people from all over the word about food and agriculture.
I finished each interview with the simple question "What will agriculture look like in 100 years?". The AgTech community is co-creating the future we imagine, so the answers are illuminating! In this bonus episode, I share their answers.

Epsiode 2 Innovating AgTech - Why Do We Need Entrepreneurs In AgTech?
Episode 2 of 6 - Why do we need Entrepreneurs?
The global food system faces serious problems – environmental, social and commercial. This six-part podcast series seeks to unravel these complex interrelationships asking how we can better align the interests of the environment, farmers, entrepreneurs and investors, allowing new Agtech solutions to address these critical challenges.
Episode 2 explores the role entrepreneurs play in achieving technological progress.
We ask what entrepreneurs can contribute that existing companies and governments might not, and investigate the networks and resources - the entrepreneurial ecosystem - that helps facilitate entrepreneurs’ success. The Silicon Valley template of entrepreneurship and its influence is explored, including cautionary tales about how hype surrounding entrepreneurship and technological developments can lead to undesirable consequences. Finally, we discuss the role of business accelerators and share some pioneering examples of food and agriculture focused support for start-ups.
