Agribusiness is a priority to IFC because of its broad development impact and especially strong role in poverty reduction. IFC combines their investments and advisory services capabilities to support private sector solutions focused on addressing the world’s soaring demand of food and escalating food prices in a sustainable, inclusive, and efficient way.
IFC’s private sector investments in agribusiness and forestry are an integral part of the World Bank Group’s goals of reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity.
Agtools will be presenting its Advance Sustainability Knowledge System (ASKS), which curates a full value chain prism for each studied commodity for smart contracts, and the Advanced Phase Expert System (APExS), which rigorously reconciles a myriad of intractable extrinsic facets influencing said commodities, to afford thorough resource citations to aid decision-making.
The Conference will bring together leading agribusinesses, technology providers, international experts, and development institutions to network, share experiences and discuss the opportunities and challenges of AgTech solutions for sustainable agriculture. Over two days, participants will discuss how to accelerate the adoption and expansion of technology to increase the productivity, efficiency, and resilience of farmers and food systems in emerging markets.
