n this episode of CropTalk, we continue the Predictions for 2026 and Beyond series with returning guest Adam Bergman, Managing Director of EcoTech Capital. Our conversation is grounded in Adam's 2026 report, The Ugly, the Bad, and the Good, where he lays out a clear read on the AgTech and FoodTech landscape heading into the year ahead. We dig into why Adam expects 2026 to bring the highest number of bankruptcies, restructurings, and fire sales yet, how the lack of exits is tightening investable capital across the sector, and why the companies that survive will be the ones with viable business models and a near term path to profitability. We also explore the "good" side of the equation, including the megatrends Adam believes will keep pulling the sector forward, plus the areas where he is seeing real traction today, especially automation, robotics, and digitization.
