Food production is on the verge of revolution - Farming 4.0. The world will need 50% more food by 2050, while there is a dire need in the production chain to consume significantly fewer resources than today. The market for digital innovations in sustainable food production is booming, and the adoption of digital technologies in sustainable food production is attracting great interest from investors who see a clear and compelling need to bring farming into the future. The global food innovation opportunity represents a $700 billion market by 2030, while investments in Agritech startups worldwide have increased and reached new highs in 2021-2022. The growth of Agritech financing, deals and acquisitions is supported by the demand for innovative and sustainable agricultural practices that increase yields, reduce costs, and resource input, and provide a more resilient food supply chain.
