Food and Agriculture: Trends Report 2023, Quantumrun Foresight

The agricultural sector has seen a wave of technological advancements in the last few years, particularly in synthetic food production—a rapidly growing field involving technology and biochemistry to create food products from plant-based and lab-grown sources. The goal is to provide consumers with sustainable, affordable, and safe food sources while reducing traditional agriculture's environmental impact. 

Meanwhile, the agricultural industry has also turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to, for instance, optimize crop production, reduce waste, and improve food safety. These algorithms can be used to analyze vast amounts of data, such as on soil and weather conditions, to provide farmers with real-time insights into the health of their crops. Indeed, AgTech hopes to improve yields, increase efficiency, and ultimately help feed a growing global population. This report section will cover the AgTech trends Quantumrun Foresight is focusing on in 2023.
