What is Agritech?
Agriculture technology, also known as agritech or AgTech, refers to the development and application of diverse technologies, tools, and systems across the agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and food industries to enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience. It spans the entire agrifood value chain, from agricultural inputs to consumer-facing outputs, integrating advancements in digital solutions, biotechnology, materials science, and automation.
