AgTech Breakthrough, a market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global agricultural and food technology markets, has announced the winners of the 5th annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards programme.
With a global market value of approximately $56.8bn by 2033, the agtech industry is undergoing rapid expansion, underscoring significant investment and focus on technologies driving digitization, automation, and machine learning across the entire agricultural ecosystem.
This transformative new era revolutionizing the face of agriculture is improving the full spectrum of ag operations and processes and providing farmers with cutting-edge technology such as synthetic biology, precision agriculture, yield forecasting, IoT, robotics, integrated farm management, and more.
The mission of the annual AgTech Breakthrough Awards programme is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of agricultural and food technology innovators driving this industry forward, with categories that include Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based agricultural technologies, farm management, indoor farming, food quality, data analytics and many more. This year’s programme attracted thousands of nominations from more than 15 different countries.
“A growing population, globalized trade, biotechnology, new regulations and climate change are all among the megatrends creating the foundation for transforming agriculture into a high-tech industry. Agtech not only addresses increases in overall farm productivity, but provides real answers to complex challenges such as over-application of chemicals and fertilizers, reducing ground and surface water pollutions, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, and increased product quality,” said Bryan Vaughn, managing director, AgTech Breakthrough.
“Our incredible group of 2024 AgTech Breakthrough winners are creating truly breakthrough products and services that empower the agricultural industry to increase efficiency, ease pain points, and lower their environmental footprint leading to more benefits for consumers around the world.”
