Beanstalk Drought Venture Studio Virtual Field Day: Bridging The Gap From Innovation To Adoption
The Beanstalk Drought Venture Studio Virtual Field Day is an event that showcases how we can bridge the gap and take innovations from the lab to the field.
As the only agtech venture studio in the region, Beanstalk Venture Studio has worked with 80+ innovators to validate and scale solutions tackling agriculture’s biggest challenges of this decade: improving productivity, boosting profitability, and building climate resilience.
We are bringing our innovators together with farmers and adoption partners to hear firsthand the challenges they face, identify where opportunities for testing lie, and where solutions and adoption pathways can connect.
