Jonathan Spenser CEO of TerraVerde Agriculture Ltd. explained mandatory success factors for implementation of modern sustainable agriculture, emphasizing three hallmarks required to support ongoing development. These include (1) infrastructure – accessibility and connectivity, power, water supply and communications – usually a profound responsibility of the public sector and its inherent commitment to enable economic growth; (2) innovation -. know how deriving from research, development and extension – a responsibility and business incentive of both the public and private sectors keen to provide inputs and know how; and (3) excellence in the management of sectors and enterprises – a task all stakeholders need to drive to perfection.
