Agrifood leaders are being asked to deliver growth in a food economy defined by volatility. Climate disruption, input inflation, trade instability, fragmented regulation, and shifting consumer expectations are increasing pressure on supply chains, margins, and sustainability commitments. At the same time progress is stalling at the farm level, where rising costs and growing data demands are outpacing the economic support needed to sustain change.
The reality: delivering resilient, affordable, and sustainable food at scale requires value chains to work together to unlock investment, secure supply, reduce risk, and prove measurable business value.
Reuters Events: Transform Food & Agriculture USA is where senior food and agriculture executives come together to turn that pressure into practical strategy. Across keynotes, case studies, peer-led roundtables, and interactive discussions, this forum will examine how to align sourcing and reformulation strategies, create credible farm-level data systems, strengthen grower economics, navigate policy complexity, and scale sustainability initiatives that deliver commercial return.
Join CPG leaders, producers, retailers, and value chain partners in Minneapolis to secure supply, prove ROI, and future-proof growth.
Events like Reuters Transform Food and Agriculture are essential for tackling the challenges no company can solve alone. In 2026, food and beverage leaders must embrace collaboration and transparency as pre-competitive conditions for success. The real opportunity is recognizing that sustainability and profitability are interdependent — organizations with traceable, responsible supply chains that support farmer wellbeing and ecosystem resilience are building trust that markets increasingly demand.
As climate pressures intensify, fragmented data, limited visibility into soil health and on‑farm productivity, and rising reporting burdens on farmers are undermining supply‑chain resilience. Unlock smarter farm‑level data capture and stronger information flows to reduce friction for growers, while turning soil insights into economic value and higher returns.
The collective impact of rising input costs, supply volatility, and thin margins across the value chain creates an opportunity to redesign how value and risk are shared. Leverage practical models, from diversifying sourcing to co-investment partnerships, alongside AI and data-driven insights to improve visibility and decision-making.
A rapidly shifting global and national regulatory landscape, shaped by evolving rules on waste, carbon, and land use - including EPR, LSRG, and the upcoming 2026 Farm Bill - is requiring more agile, cross-functional responses to compliance. To stay ahead, businesses must move away from siloed approaches, align data, and embed compliance into everyday sourcing and product decisions.
