AgriFuture conference 2025: pioneering agricultural change

The AgriFuture Conference 2025, taking place on 23–24 September 2025 at True Digital Park in Bangkok, Thailand, is set to be a major platform for advancing sustainable agriculture in Southeast Asia

Organised by DLG Asia Pacific, the conference focuses on promoting clean practices and green innovations to develop a more sustainable agri-food system. It brings together farmers, researchers, agri-tech companies, policymakers, and investors to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the modern agricultural sector. Rapid population growth, environmental pressures, labour shortages, and rising production costs are creating urgent demands for innovation, and the conference highlights how Agriculture 4.0 technologies can help address these issues while improving efficiency and productivity.

Attendees will explore advancements in precision farming, artificial intelligence, drones, IoT, and vertical agriculture, all of which are helping farmers optimise yields, reduce resource use, and manage operations more effectively. The event also emphasises sustainability and climate-conscious practices, such as circular farming systems and improved crop residue management, which support environmental stewardship and reduce the ecological impact of farming. In addition, the conference addresses the financial and market aspects of modern agriculture, showcasing agri-fintech solutions, startup support, blended financing opportunities, and programmes that encourage youth entrepreneurship in the sector. By combining technology, sustainability, and investment readiness, the conference aims to equip participants with practical knowledge and strategies for success.

The AgriFuture Conference also offers extensive networking opportunities, enabling collaboration among innovators, investors, development organisations, and other stakeholders. Through seminars, interactive workshops, and field visits, participants gain hands-on insights and can build valuable connections to support agricultural innovation across the region. Overall, the conference seeks to drive the adoption of new technologies and sustainable practices in Southeast Asia, helping farmers and businesses increase productivity, enhance food security, and build resilience against environmental and economic challenges.
