Time: 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM CET (Rome Time)

Format: Virtual Webinar

Registration: [Coming Soon]

Overview

Digital agriculture technologies—such as satellite monitoring, IoT sensors, and supply chain traceability systems—now cover over 20% of arable land. While these platforms provide visibility into global sourcing networks, supply chain transparency alone does not guarantee environmental sustainability.

Agrifood systems are transitioning from static product tracking toward measuring, verifying, and monetizing ecosystem services, including soil conservation, carbon sequestration, water stewardship, and biodiversity.

Organized in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), this session convenes leaders from the private sector, international governance bodies, and humanitarian agencies to address three core questions:

• What can current supply chain mapping reveal, and where does static traceability reach its technical and operational limits?

• How can enterprise digital platforms integrate farm-level and environmental data into credible carbon, ESG, and ecosystem service metrics?

• What data governance and interoperability standards are required to balance regulatory verification with commercial data confidentiality?
