AgTech startups have been changing the agricultural and farming landscape by digitalizing an industry that has changed little in over a century. We are also at an unprecedented time in history where climate change poses the largest threat to our security and safety as a planet.
How can AgTech work within the environment to alleviate, not contribute to Climate Change?
