Those of us with a stake in the future of agriculture are well aware that we have reached a crossroads, an inflection point, in our efforts to meet the challenges of feeding an ever-hungrier world. Can we increase agricultural yield and food security while farming sustainably? Can technology help meet the demands of consumers around the world for higher quality, safer food? Can we improve the economic conditions of farmers and farm workers?

We believe strongly that the answer to all these questions is yes.
