Agriculture 2.0, the sustainable agriculture investment conference, is less than two weeks away, and the response has been astounding. Already, we have over 200 confirmed attendees and each one represents an opportunity to connect with someone who will impact the future of sustainable agriculture in a big way.
There is good reason firms like Kleiner Perkins, Khosla, Black River, Foundation Capital, Venrock, Mohr Davidow, RockPort, RedPoint, Flagship and Slow Money are sending delegates: because agriculture is the next cleantech. Industry professionals from Dow Chemical, the USDA and Food Alliance will be there for the same reason: this one-day event is where the conversations about sustainable agriculture investment will take place. The event will feature 25 investment opportunities, ranging from information technology to soil measurement to fish farming, and countless other entrepreneurs (from firms like Earthbound Farm, Open Blue Sea Farms and Cleanfish Alliance) will be in attendance looking to meet investors.
