About the event
Join us for a conversation with Emmet Murphy, a seasoned founder, food security and climate leader with over 25 years of experience driving sustainable agriculture across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Emmet will share lessons from his work leading large-scale, agricultural development and tech-enabled adaptation projects from deploying AI-powered tools and drones in rural farming systems to managing complex USAID programs in frontier markets.
Drawing on his experience with smallholder farming communities, he'll explore how climate change is disrupting agriculture and what practical, scalable solutions are emerging to build resilience. This session will unpack:
- The evolving climate risks facing smallholder farmers across Africa
- How inclusive innovation and local insight can drive adaptation and systemic change
- The role of digital tools in transforming last-mile agricultural systems
- Real-world stories from Haiti, Rwanda, Nigeria, and beyond
