Agtech has long fallen short of the expectations set by venture capital. But shifting market dynamics, supply disruptions, and emerging technologies may be rewriting the exit math. Chloë Payne explains why agricultural innovation may finally be poised to deliver both resilience and the returns investors have been waiting for.

🌱 AI helping Indian farmers cut pesticide/water use while boosting yields
This IEEE piece shows precision agriculture reducing chemical inputs for small farmers. Refreshingly honest about both benefits AND risks of surveillance agriculture.
Key: tech must integrate with existing systems, not replace farmer knowledge.
