    📺 Watch on YouTube and SpotifyiGrow News - 2025 Precision Ag Intelligence Report - https://igrownews.com/precisionEpisode DescriptionWhat shook up the world of precision agriculture in 2025? In this exclusive deep dive, Harry Duran sits down with Sepehr Achard, fellow co-founder of iGrow News, to explore the striking trends and surprising signals from the just-released 2025 Precision Ag Intelligence Report. From the surging impact of AI on product development—and the sudden vulnerability of software-only companies—to unexpected M&A moves like food giants buying robotics startups and why a drop in patent filings could predict a seismic shift, this episode connects the industry’s hidden dots.Discover why $600 million in funding might no longer guarantee success, the mysterious surge of patents out of China (but almost none granted), and which countries are quietly emerging as ag innovation hubs. The guests grapple with the future of metrics like "compute cost per acre," the looming prospect of AI-taxation, and whether distribution—rather than technology—could become the true differentiator.And in a world rocked by global tensions, could fertilizer shocks and input price spikes trigger the next wave of ag innovation—or stall it in its tracks? Don't miss this detailed yet fast-paced conversation pulling back the curtain on where precision ag is heading next.Ready for the data points no newswire is covering? Press play.5 Key TakeawaysIn a rapidly evolving AgTech landscape, strategic awareness and rapid adaptation are critical for survival and growth. Take charge of your future with these decisive actions:Monitor patent activity and social signals of key industry players to anticipate strategic moves and market shifts.Diversify beyond pure software solutions—build or partner for hardware, own unique data, and prioritize distribution networks for defensible growth.Prepare for increased M&A activity by strengthening your customer base, technology differentiation, and profitability to become acquisition-ready.Rethink KPIs for the AI era by tracking new metrics like compute cost per acre and token usage to measure operational efficiency.Keep a pulse on global events, such as geopolitical conflict and supply chain volatility, to anticipate their cascading impact on AgTech investments and strategic decisions.Act now—evaluate your business model, data, and partnerships with these insights to stay ahead in precision agriculture.Memorable Quotes"It's not a differentiator anymore to have fancy technology or AI you can create; the real differentiators are controlling the data, owning the hardware, and—most importantly—having the distribution.""The cost of developing new products is dramatically decreasing, but the cost of introducing these products to market is increasing; developing technology alone doesn't mean much anymore because it can be replicated quickly and cheaply.""China has a patent creation engine driven by universities, but once you look at actual granted patents and real technology, there are overlooked hubs like Korea, Japan, India, Israel, the Netherlands, and the U.S. producing innovations that are truly patentable and impactful."Resources MentionedTaylor Farms - https://www.taylorfarms.com/FarmWise (Autonomous Weeding Business) - https://www.farmwise.io/Climate Corporation - https://climate.com/John Deere - https://www.deere.com/Massey Ferguson - https://www.masseyferguson.com/CNH Industrial - https://www.cnh.com/Starlink (integrated by CNH Industrial) - https://www.starlink.com/Arable - https://www.arable.com/Google Cloud - https://cloud.google.com/Amazon Web Services (AWS) - https://aws.amazon.com/Yamaha Agriculture - https://global.yamaha-motor.com/business/precision_ag/Caterpillar - https://www.caterpillar.com/Monarch Tractor - https://monarchtractor.com/Connect with Us!Be sure to subscribe to our other shows:Vertical Farming Podcast: https://vertical-farming-podcast.captivate.fm/listenGreenhouse Success Stories: https://greenhouse-success-stories.captivate.fm/listeniGrow Digest:Presented by iGrowNews.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/igrownews🎙️🎙️🎙️Discover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/===This is an AI-Generated show

With an insider’s perspective on the future of Canadian food security, Darby McGrath exposes how the nation’s greenhouse sector is largely dependent on imported seed genetics not tailored to local climates, leaving growers vulnerable and highlighting a critical gap in innovation.Tune in to learn why Canada risks losing control of its food supply without urgent investment in homegrown seed breeding, how Vineland works with both domestic and international partners to advance R&D, and what it really takes to bring resilient, high-yield crops to market. Whether you’re fascinated by genetics, the business of agriculture, or the future of food production, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.Key TakeawaysDon’t leave seed genetics to chance—demand Canadian-adapted crops and support initiatives building local breeding capacity now.Break research silos—reach out, collaborate, and leverage networks like Vineland to accelerate real-world horticulture solutions.Take control of your supply chain—identify vulnerabilities and advocate for investment in domestic R&D and greenhouse innovation.Harness new tech—explore advanced solutions like pathogen labs and digital tools to future-proof your greenhouse operation.Act on knowledge gaps—access Vineland or similar organizations for support, and bring your unique challenges forward to drive sector-wide progress.Memorable Quotes"Breeding doesn’t operate on funding cycles, and the way that we invest into these things is through competitive granting, and that doesn’t work because breeding extends beyond those funding cycles that are connected to policy frameworks.""If we want to invest in breeding, it can’t be based on competitive funding alone. Not that I’m saying that doesn’t have its place for encouraging innovation and developing new tools, but it’s got to be a strategic decision that we say, no, this is worth it and we’re going to invest in it and here’s why.""I think our job is to support the sector, identify where there are market gaps, and develop new practices, processes, and products for horticulture in Ontario."Connect with DarbyLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/darby-mcgrath-a6671935/Vineland Research and Innovation Centre - https://vinelandresearch.com/Resources MentionedUniversity of Guelph: https://www.uoguelph.ca/University of Toronto: https://www.utoronto.ca/Brock University: https://brocku.ca/University of Waterloo: https://uwaterloo.ca/Connect With UsGSS LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/verticalfarmingpodcastGSS Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/direct/inbox/Subscribe to our newsletters!AgTech Digest - https://agtechdigest.comThe Indoor Farmer - https://www.indoorverticalfarm.com/Horti-Gen Insights - https://www.hortigeninsights.com/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production and Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag Report2025 Precision Ag Report by iGrowNews2025 Precision Ag Report
