On October 29, we hosted a special panel event with @USAID and @IAmBiotech focused on empowering smallholder farmers by enhancing the Agricultural Innovation Chain. The discussion was part of the World Food Prize Norman E. Borlaug Dialogue and examined how to improve efficiencies that connect innovations in the lab to growers and consumers across the globe. To learn more about how the successful demonstration of innovations can benefit smallholder farmers across the globe, you can now watch the entire panel discussion here: #FoodPrize24 #AgInnovation #Biotech
