Improving the agricultural sector requires the enhancement of the innovation system to produce changes in the processes, policies, and vision among agricultural stakeholders that can enable the creation of transformative and innovative programs and products. COVID-19 brought a renewed importance of agriculture as the need to have safe and nutritious food supply became a major concern. The breakdown in the food supply chain sped up the adoption of ICT-based applications in farmer education and food delivery systems, as well as reinvigorated the interest of venture capitalists to invest in agriculture. This program aims to engage the participants in analyzing challenges facing agriculture and in developing collaborative and transformative programs for agricultural development. In doing so, participants will be able to propose innovative programs that may positively impact their agricultural innovation systems.
