Who Should Attend
Producers & Cooperatives
Producers and cooperatives should prioritise farmer-agency, capacity-building, policy and farm-visit content where the discussion connects directly to adoption, costs, market access and how producer voices enter programme design.
Researchers, Standards and Certification Teams
Researchers, standards and certification teams should use the tech-enabled assurance, data, research-application and policy sessions to examine how evidence can be collected and translated into practical farm-level systems.
Retailers and Supply-Chain Leaders
Retailers and supply-chain leaders should focus on assurance, traceability, reporting, social responsibility and collaboration sessions that affect supplier requirements and the credibility of sustainability claims.
AgTech, Sustainability & Policy Professionals
AgTech, sustainability and policy professionals should concentrate on AI, adaptation, collaborative governance, ESG alignment and farmer-led advocacy, where technology or policy has to operate across multiple actors rather than one company.
Top Reasons to Attend
1
Use the Breakouts, Not Only the Plenary
The most actionable content sits in parallel breakout sessions on policy, farm-level research, inclusion, AI, adaptation, aquaculture, assurance and farmer advocacy. Choose a track based on the programme you actually manage.
2
Visit the Solution Hub With a Problem
The Solution Hub has experts on social responsibility, supply-chain transparency, reporting and metrics, capacity building and other Agraya solutions. Bring a live implementation problem rather than treating it as a general information stand.
3
Prioritise the Assurance Sessions if You Use Standards
Day two covers tech-enabled auditing and assurance at scale. Certification bodies, retailers and producers should use those sessions to examine where digital evidence, audit burden and data quality are changing.
4
Use the Women Farmer Theme Practically
The 2026 UN International Year of the Woman Farmer is woven into the summit and Changemaker Awards. Organisations should examine whether their programmes actually improve access, voice, income and decision-making for women farmers.
5
Add the Farm Visit if Implementation Matters
October 29 offers an optional farm-visit programme. It is the best part of the event for participants who need to see sustainability practices and supply-chain collaboration operating outside a conference room.
What You'll See & Do
♻️
Regenerative & Climate-Smart Agriculture
Regenerative and climate-smart agriculture is discussed through measurable implementation, not only principles. Sessions examine how environmental goals become farm-level practice, how food safety interacts with regeneration and what is needed to move solutions from adoption into system change.
🌱
Farmer Empowerment
Farmer empowerment is visible in sessions on policy impacts, research and capacity building, farmer-led advocacy and the 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer. The useful question is how farmers gain influence, capability and economic agency inside supply chains.
🤖
Inclusive Technology
Inclusive technology includes AI, digital tools and farm-level adaptation. AGRAYA’s programme looks at where technology genuinely supports producers, where adoption fails and how solutions can be made usable across different farm sizes and regions.
🌱
Assurance, Standards & Traceability
Assurance, standards and traceability are major operational themes. Day two includes tech-enabled auditing and the future of assurance, while the Solution Hub covers supply-chain transparency, GGN-label communication, reporting and farm-level data.
🌱
Collaborative Governance
Collaborative governance appears in discussions on shared purpose, public-private collaboration and policy as a lever for change. This is most relevant to organisations trying to align retailers, producers, NGOs, standards bodies and governments around one programme.
🤖
Equitable Value Chains
Equitable value chains are approached through social responsibility, gender, worker well-being and market relationships. The event’s International Year of the Woman Farmer focus and Changemaker Awards give those topics a specific 2026 context.
