Places like Food Valley in the Netherlands have already started. There you can find agri-tech start-ups and experimental farms everywhere. And even though the Netherlands lacks almost every resource necessary for large-scale agriculture, it is the number two exporter of food as measured by value globally. Second only to the United States, a country with 270 times the size of the Netherlands.Why? Because it has mastered the combination of research, innovation and agriculture.”
