Scaling Sustainable Agriculture: Smart Farming, Regenerative Practices & Nature-Based Economies

Food systems sit at the centre of the climate, biodiversity and water crises. They are also one of the places where solutions are most within reach. This session brings together scientists, practitioners and young voices to ask how smart farming tools, regenerative practices and nature-based economies can move from successful pilots to large-scale adoption. It looks at what farmers need in order to adopt them, what investors need in order to fund them, and how research and policy can close the gap between the two. The panel is followed by a 15-minute hands-on workshop, “Get Your Hands Dirty”, where participants work in small groups to turn what they heard into practical next steps.
