Agriculture’s growing reliance on digital tools has made data interoperability an increasingly important industry challenge. In this episode of Ag Tech Talk, Samantha Murray, Head of Product Data at Compass Regulatory, discusses how disconnected platforms and inconsistent data can create inefficiencies and complicate regulatory compliance. Murray explores the need for a common language across agricultural technology platforms, the challenges of maintaining accurate crop protection label data and the added complexity of EPA Endangered Species Act requirements — and how better-connected regulatory information can streamline compliance and support more informed decisions across the ag value chain.

In this Sustainable Podcast episode by AgriBusiness Global, Bernardita Contesse, Chief of Sustainability at Anasac, delves into how companies can ramp up their sustainability efforts, how to communicate sustainable initiatives to the public, how to educate growers that sustainability doesn’t signify a loss of productivity, and more.

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk by AgriBusiness Global, Bryce Baker, North America Tactical Marketing Lead, PTx, discusses the company's "retrofit first" approach to global expansion, the growing potential of targeted spraying, and the challenges of scaling autonomy.
Baker explains how retrofits help growers adopt new technology without waiting for their next equipment trade cycle, while OEM partnerships complement that strategy. He also explores how autonomy, data management, and fleet logistics will shape the future of precision agriculture — and shares advice for companies entering new markets: Understand who the farmer is.

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk by AgriBusiness Global, Charlie Andersen, CEO of Burro, discusses the practical realities of AI and automation on the farm — what works, what doesn't, and where the biggest opportunities lie. Drawing on experience deploying more than 800 autonomous systems worldwide, Anderson explains why growers should start with simple, repetitive tasks before tackling more complex jobs, how automation can build trust with farm labor rather than fear, and what separates robotics companies built for real-world scale from those that only shine in flashy demos.

In this Sustainable Podcast episode by AgriBusiness Global, Terry Kippley, President and CEO of the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA), discusses the organization’s sustainability efforts, CPDA’s ongoing collaboration with the U.S. EPA, how adjuvants can help with biologicals adoption and more.

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk, we explore how artificial intelligence and machine learning are helping transform precision agronomy with Dr. Jasmine Neupane, assistant professor of Agricultural Systems Technology at the University of Missouri. Dr. Neupane’s research focuses on integrating digital agriculture technologies, including sensors, remote sensing, and data analytics, to help farmers and ag retailers make more informed, field-specific decisions that improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability.

In this Sustainable Podcast episode by AgriBusiness Global, Ben Cicora, Managing Partner, Commercial, at Frontier Bio Strategy, discusses common pitfalls biologicals companies make when first starting out, how biologicals companies can successfully scale, and more. Thanks for tuning in! 

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk by AgriBusiness Global, three leaders whose companies are working together to advance AI-ready spatial intelligence for agriculture explore how the industry is turning complex farm data into actionable insights. Bailey Stockdale, Founder and CEO of Leaf Agriculture, Ben Pruden, Head of GTM and Marketing at Wherobots, and Rachel Zack, Co-Founder of Felt, discuss how their complementary technologies — spanning data infrastructure, geospatial computing, visualization, and artificial intelligence — are helping transform fragmented datasets into practical insights that support better decision-making across agriculture.

In this Sustainable podcast episode by AgriBusiness Global, Jason McGarrh, VP of Agriculture at Locus FS, delves into recent innovations in the biosurfactants space, how biosurfactants can address challenges like resistance management, and more.
