Being adaptable is important in any industry. In agriculture, this has never been more pertinent, particularly when growers are faced with a volatile climate, unpredictable supply chains, and labour shortages. They're now contending with drought, storms, and a heating planet, all of which make growing crops and predicting yield far more challenging. Many of them also face regional price fluctuations caused by truncated supply chains and climate and geopolitical instability, so being flexible and able to pivot quickly is vital.
