Durante il World Agri-Tech 2025 di San Francisco le grandi società tech, come Google, Meta e AWS, ma anche le aziende produttrici di agrofarmaci (come Bayer, Syngenta, BASF) e di software per l'agricoltura (come Farmers Edge e Tavant), hanno raccontato come stanno usando l'#ArtificialIntelligence, sia nell'organizzazione interna che nello sviluppo di prodotti per gli agricoltori. Questi i 5 takeaway che mi sento di condividere: 🌾 Ottimizzazione delle risorse: gli algoritmi predittivi (#DSS) a servizio degli agricoltori migliorano resa e riducono sprechi. 🌍 Sostenibilità e tracciabilità: l'#IA può essere usata per monitorare i campi e identificare i segni della deforestazione attraverso l'analisi dei dati satellitari. 📃 Consulenza personalizzata: chatbot AI e raccomandazioni agronomiche dedicate semplificano burocrazia e decisioni in campo. 🤖 Automazione e processi interni: l'uso dell'IA è utile alle aziende sia all'interno dell'organizzazione, per snellire il lavoro, sia per le attività di R&D. 🪧 Barriere: costi, resistenza al cambiamento e mancanza di dati standard frenano l’adozione. L’IA deve dimostrare vantaggi economici tangibili. Nell'articolo linkato nei commenti una analisi di quello che si è detto a San Francisco

Last week, FMC attended the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in San Francisco. Our Chief Technology Officer, Seva Rostovtsev, participated in the Innovations in Mode of Action and Delivery Technology panel. The discussion covered a range of important topics, including: • Active ingredients that demonstrate the greatest potential across biostimulants, biocontrol and bionutrition. • The role of artificial intelligence in driving innovation in bioprotection and delivering cost-efficient biological solutions to growers. • Strategies for integrating synthetic and biological solutions to help growers achieve both economic and environmental goals. We also enjoyed connecting with new innovators and our portfolio companies at the event: Guardian Agriculture, Micropep Technologies, Scanit Technologies, Inc., Niqo Robotics and AgroSpheres. #FMC #WorldAgriTech #Innovation #AgTech

San Francisco was the epicenter of AgriFoodTech innovation last week, and the energy at World Agri-Tech and Future Food-Tech was unmatched! ➡️ At World Agri-Tech, Hadar Sutovsky took the stage to explore how corporate venture capital is evolving in AgTech and what this means for startups, investors, and industry leaders. In a dynamic discussion alongside Sarah Nolet, Erin VanLanduit, Michael Lee, and Sebastien Pascual, the panel tackled: 🔹How CVC’s compare to traditional VC’s in the current market conditions 🔹The recent shifts of CVC in AgTech since the election 🔹What traditional VC’s and founders misunderstand about the CVC model ➡️ The networking roundtable, ‘AI-powered Ag’ co-hosted with Eyal Ben-Chanoch CEO of agrematch, sparked incredible discussions about how corporate investors are driving AI innovation in agriculture. ➡️ At Future Food-Tech, Hadar joined industry leaders from Shiru, Synonym, Unilever, and Merrick & Company to explore how multi-stakeholder partnerships accelerate food-tech innovation. → From scaling startups to designing next-generation facilities, the key takeaway was simple: collaboration is the catalyst for progress. ➡️ Another pivotal conversation was at the ‘AI as a Disruptive Technology for the Food Industry’ roundtable, hosted by Ratna Mukherjea, PhD and Sooyoun Seo. The conversation highlighted real-world applications of AI that are already transforming the industry. → The conversations don’t stop here. ICL Planet is committed to supporting technologies that transform the way we grow, produce, and consume food. Until next year, we look forward to continuing these conversations, driving impact, and returning with even more breakthroughs in 2026!
