Change in Cultivation: Why the future of agriculture requires more women and technology

Throughout the history of my family, women have played a central role in agriculture, not just as a workforce, but as the driver of innovation and elasticity. My grandmother saved our gardening business during the war, nurturing all adversities against all adversities. My mother created one of the first commercial tissue culture labs in Europe, which is the lead of modern plant promotion. And I am now leading a robotics startup that translates this soul into technology, developing AI-driven solutions for sterile, high quality plant production.

Throughout the generation, the outlook was the same: to nurture the growth in biological, economic and systematic ways. Today, this outlook is more important than ever. Production of more food is not enough; We need to produce it in a way that protects the soil, protecting biodiversity and protecting the soil by securing local, high quality supply chains under climate pressure. This requires leaders who understand that growth and care are not opposed. This is where women have always contributed, often mute, by forming systems that only give nourish more than drainage

A new era for agriculture

The transformation of agriculture is real. It’s happening now. And it is deeper than the perception of many.

Agriculture is no longer just about soil and ASONS Tu. It is about sensor-based systems, autonomous machines, genetic insights, data flow and climate elasticity. It is a multi -divisional power house that often integrate biology, technology and sustains away from the spotlight.

In the only 2024, Egitech Startups Venture Capital raised over $ 5.7 billion dollars. AI-driven weed laser, autonomous tractor, vertical farm and regenerative platforms all indicate a huge shift and a necessary one. By 2050, the world’s population is estimated to increase 2 billionWith it, the environment is to bring about the increasing challenge of producing enough food without further pressure.

Why do we need more women to invest in Agitech and smart technology?

Here’s the paradox. When modernization of agriculture fast, the image of who plays this progress is often between the traditional concept and roll models. In my experience, people still prefer a farmer’s rural image to grow crops with a pitchfork and an old tractor in his field. But the reality is that one of the extreme technical complexities and more women is not only in these fields, but also in labs, greenhouses and boardrooms, shaping the future feeding systems.

In Germany, 36% of agricultural workers Today is the woman. This is not a huge number, but it shows the growing trend of women by occupying more places in the agricultural sector, not just as workers, but as a leader, founder and scientist. Women come up with a vision that agriculture is more needed now than ever: a burden that food is a relationship, not just yield; That soil is not just a substrate, a living organism; Nutritional people and reproducing ecosystems can be combined with economic reality.

And if we want to meet the challenges in front we need this mentality. Agriculture today is about producing more, including low resources, when reproducing the ecosystem we depend on today. It is about protecting local production, improving genetics, quality and refreshment, conservation of biodiversity and protecting soil fertility in climate pressure.

This is only possible when we combine the mentality of growing up with the most advanced tools available: Robotics, AI, sensor system and data-driven decision equipment that enables precise, resource-sought, local production throughout the year. Controlled environmental agriculture (CEA), automatic plant promotion and AI-backed farming practices are no longer a future outlook but the necessary steps to align food protection with environmental responsibility.

We need to invest in these smart technologies now. In Europe, strengthening our local production capacity to achieve food protection and high quality quality, reduce dependence on low-quality imports and recognize that the true cost of food includes fair wages, sustainable practice and preservation of critical resources such as water and fertile soil.

Aggitech women are not a tendency. They have to protect systemic, technology-powered transformation agriculture is a elastic, high quality and sustainable food system for the future.

If the future is fertile we dare to cultivate it

In the end, it will come down to the founders and innovators of today and tomorrow to determine where the agriculture is going.

We need a founder who understand that soil damage threatens to survive people, both food systems are the cause of climate change and solutions and digital transformations must include rural infrastructure and local elasticity. Our investors, policymakers and entrepreneurs need to understand that innovation not only comes from Silicon Valley, but does not come from greenhouse, grape and examination fields.

We need more women in our Agrites, because they look good in a brochure, but they bring a different mentality to the table and because they know that the daily things around us have a true transformation.

Let us make sure that the minds and ideas we cherish in agriculture through the funds are just as elastic, ambitious and expected as the future.
