Agribusiness
Agribusiness is seeding its fourth industrial revolution.
Grown on the foundations of 17th century agricultural practices, post-WW1 mechanization, high-yielding chemicals and genetically modified crops in the 1960s, Agribusiness 4.0 is planted around digitization.
The transition is attracting massive funding with over $300B AUM allocated to agriculture and agritech. The entire value chain is becoming interconnected and united around feeding the world’s growing population.
Agribusiness also finds itself at the center of the climate conversation. Sustainability-oriented actions around decarbonization, soil health, plant-based alternatives, and long-term agroforestry have quickly become table stakes. Customers are now anchoring on critical KPIs beyond yields, such as fertilizer reduced, fuel saved, emissions avoided, and soybean/seed corn saved to maximize return per acre and instill accountability.
Addressing such newfound complexity, while remaining loyal to the enduring traditions and values of those close to the land creates a challenging environment.
But bushels of opportunities are also emerging. Smart industry forces in the form of telematics, IoT, analytics, and automation are reshaping machinery, optimizing yield performance, and creating new aftermarket models. Market players are evolving their strategies to succeed in this new field of play. Differentiation now requires effectively coupling biological and agronomist expertise with economic value creation and technological prowess.
