In our 7th edition, we focused on the Transformation of Global Food Systems. The urgency to radically transform our food chain is growing. Capital investment in food and agri is increasing at an unprecedented rate. But are investments in technology and innovative business models contributing to more sustainable food production? What is still needed to meet the SDGs in 2030?

We’ve had many inspiring speakers, great panel discussions, and the 12 Next Heroes in Food & AgTech 2022 pitching on stage. Special topics included the role of impact investors, the need for regenerative farming, the future of proteins, food & ag innovation in emerging markets, and changing consumer preferences. F&A Next and Agfunder will also present the annual European Investment Report, the most comprehensive food tech and agritech investment research.

Below are some highlights and impressions of the event, whether you want to relive the moment or see what you may have missed.

For our fifth executive time, F&A Next collaborated with Agfunder to bring forward an overview of the European investments made in the past year. What’s the status of European AgriFoodTech investments? In brief: Global agrifoodtech investing nearly doubled in 2021. In Europe, it nearly tripled, increasing from $3.4bn in 2020 to $9bn. Europe accounted for 19% of global agrifoodtech investments, up from just 10% in 2020.
