CEO of Biofeed, Israel<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My goal and passion are to improve farmers’ livelihood through increased production, free of bio and chemo hazards, grown in a safe environment so that consumers can enjoy healthier food.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a leader and innovator, I develop and implement disruptive non-spraying crop protection technologies and protocols, as well as complimentary economic and business models.<\/span><\/p>\n

I live and act in light of my vision, which leads Biofeed and me to develop endless innovative solutions for ‘missing parts of the puzzle.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Biofeed is a company that changed my life, and now is helping me change the lives of many other people, mainly in the agri-sector in underdeveloped countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to my deep social and environmental awareness, rooted in my background as a farmer, I can help farmers, exporters, and regulators devise and apply winning strategies that will secure the future of agriculture trade, even under stingiest regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

This way, we can overcome the challenges of quarantine pests and still serve the best quality fresh produce to consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Biofeed, and (most of it) while I was farming, I invested 15 years in the academy, mostly in fruit fly ecological research. I hold a Ph.D. in entomology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I spend much of the time in Asia and Africa, working with farmers, stakeholders, policymakers, and governments to form a better future for the agri-industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

And most important, I LOVE WHAT I AM DOING, AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY I RECEIVED TO GIVE BACK SO MUCH.<\/span><\/p>\n

Session: How you can improve your business success in entering Africa’s agri-industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tech Company, Rethink Your Business Model For Africa and Emerging Markets<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The value chain and business environment in Africa and emerging economies is very different than in developed countries. Hence, understanding those challenges well ahead is a key success factor. In this session, I focus on the challenges a company may face when attempting to enter those markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of the session is to help businesspersons plan their entering strategy. I use examples from the challenges and solutions Biofeed’s team faced while doing it.<\/span><\/p>\n
