Sown: Investing in Agriculture, Food Systems, and the Bioengineered Farm (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264153860)

Sown
Investing in Agriculture, Food Systems, and the Bioengineered Farm
(Volume 1 of the Agricultural Technology Trilogy)

What happens when biotechnology rewrites the soil? When microbial fertilisers replace synthetic ones? When seed genomes, vertical farms, and AI-driven harvests become the new standard?

Sown is a deep dive into the future of food. The first volume in the Agricultural Technology Trilogy, this book explores the world of gene-edited crops, precision inputs, and climate-smart farming. It examines how global food systems are evolving-not just to feed more people, but to survive disruption, scarcity, and rising environmental pressure.

From John Deere's satellite-guided tractors to Benson Hill's protein-optimised soybeans, from Indigo's carbon farming platforms to Ginkgo's microbial design labs, Sown profiles ten companies leading the charge. Each is unpacked in a detailed SWOT analysis, supported by technical context and investment insight. Additional chapters explore key terms, emerging players, and further reading for serious researchers and startup founders.

Whether you're a retail investor, an agricultural technologist, or a policymaker confronting food security, this book gives you a grounded, intelligent tour of what's next in farming.

Part of the wider Tech Sector Investment Series, but listed here as the first in a new Kindle trilogy for readers focused on agritech.
