Agriculture 2.0™
Wednesday, March 24, 2010
The Four Seasons Hotel in Silicon Valley
Palo Alto, California

Agriculture 2.0 is where the sustainable agriculture industry is being defined, built and funded. By serving as the lynchpin between entrepreneurs working to improve America’s food system and the investors ready to capitalize them, Agriculture 2.0 will help create a path to profitability and scale and accelerate collaboration and growth in the undercapitalized sector.

Agriculture 2.0 Silicon Valley, co-hosted by NewSeed Advisors, US Venture Partners, and SPIN Farming, will bring together hundreds of growers, entrepreneurs, investors, retailers, industry experts, and journalists, all united by the common goal of driving the growth of sustainable agriculture and healthful food systems. The one-day conference will address topics including: What’s happening on the farms? Can traditional venture capital invest in agriculture? What comes after organic?  A special Aquaculture track, sponsored by Aquacopia, will highlight investment opportunities and the future of fish farming. Live demonstrations of new agriculture technology and company presentations will create a dynamic, interactive event. Check back frequently for program and speaker updates.
