Investment and Competitiveness: Aligning Capital with Agricultural Priorities

Description

Session 1 of The Future of American Agriculture, a public leadership dialogue series from the Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST).

Agriculture's future will depend not only on the availability of capital, but on how effectively investment supports the research, innovation, infrastructure, workforce and institutional capabilities needed for long-term competitiveness. As emerging technologies, changing markets and global competition continue to reshape the sector, strategic investments will play a critical role in determining which opportunities are pursued, which capabilities are strengthened and how effectively agriculture adapts to future challenges.
