As traditional banks continue to exhibit caution and reluctance towards undertaking agricultural risks, we are compelled to seek alternative avenues for financing agricultural ventures. Our expert panellists, drawn from diverse backgrounds in finance, investment, and insurance, will navigate this challenge and shed light on emerging trends such as impact investing, peer-to-peer lending, and agricultural cooperatives. By dissecting the barriers to traditional financing and spotlighting successful models of alternative finance, we aim to chart a path towards sustainable and inclusive financial systems that empower agricultural innovation and drive rural prosperity.
