4th Microbiome Mvmt - AgBioTech 2020

Memo

As product developers continue to harness plant-soil microbiome science to commercialize agbiologicals, our mission for the 4th Microbiome Movement - AgBioTech Summit is simple: unite pioneering ag strategics, biotechs, academics and solution providers to advance plant-soil microbe discoveries into the next generation of commercially successful products with predictable modes of action, consistent performance and increased yield for growers. Our conversations have highlighted that there are critical areas that continue to present challenges including applying basic science of plant-soil microbial ecologies into the wild field, using digital agtech to maximize data outcomes from greenhouse and field trials, formulating stable products and overcoming regulatory hurdles to accelerate product development. There is an urgent need to shape the fabric of sustainable crop agriculture today. Make sure that agbiologicals are part of that fabric by joining your peers to apply the latest plant-soil microbiome innovation and develop the next generation of commercially successful products that transform grower yield, sustainability and commercial outcomes. Group discounts, start-up, academic and early booking rates are available. Please visit the website for full pricing information.
