“Today we are in a totally new revolution in agriculture – Agriculture 3.0 – it’s the age of technology. We have autonomous tractors that drive themselves, unmanned drones that spray fields for us using less chemicals. We have a good story to tell, we just need to get better at telling it.”
– Sid Miller, Commissioner, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
“We often come back to technologies that may have launched in the past few years, but we continue learning and adding value to them. While they might not be brand new, we’re finding new ways to make them more impactful,” said Kyle McKinney, VP of Innovation at ALLTECH. Luis Tedechi, Professor, Chancellor EDGES and AgriLife Research Fellow at TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY added, “Some of the technologies we’re looking into right now involve combining different feed additives—not just using them individually as they exist today, but exploring how new additives can work together with existing ones already in the market.”
With: KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, ADM, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, AMERICAN FEED INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION and ALLTECH

“One of the things taking place is that CRISPR is a technology that continues to evolve, and it’s likely to become really integrated into the breeding process where you can use it in a very precise way to make changes and potentially do it more rapidly—especially in some livestock species.” From a regulatory standpoint, “if we share our the understanding with the consumer public of why we’re doing what we’re doing, and they perceive benefit from it, the technology becomes less of a burning issue for them.”
– Mark Walton, Senior Director, Regulatory Affairs, BIOTECHNOLOGY INNOVATION ORGANIZATION
Attendees gathered to hear industry leaders from Agritech Capital, Anterra Capital, Fall Line Capital, ADM Ventures and iSelect Fund Management share their insights on financing sustainable livestock production.
“The best way for a start-up to be attractive to a CDC is to come in through commercial, not through R&D. If you can get someone from commercial to buy into your product and see the value, that’s going to get the attention of the CDC group and the decision makers around that investment committee to move forward on investment and a partnership.”
– Dan Griffis, Senior Director, ADM VENTURES
The Latin America Networking Breakfast on Day Two spotlighted the region’s growing role in the future of livestock production, shaped by shifting geopolitical dynamics and evolving trade policies. Discussions centered on how North American businesses can tap into Latin America’s vast opportunities, while also navigating regulatory complexities and advancing sustainability goals.
The session was hosted by regional leaders from KI TUA FUND, DSM-FIRMENICH, FUNDAÇÃO MT, JBS, PHAGELAB, and PORCINA MEXIQUENSE.
