The Ripple focused on solving nitrous oxide emissions in farming. Attendees included startup founders, investors, and experts. They talked through big ideas, practical challenges, and ways to move forward.

Here’s what stood out:

- Fixing fertilizer emissions takes more than one solution: biology, chemistry, and digital tools all matter.

- New tech is promising, but it isn’t cheap or easy for farmers to adopt.

- Farmers watch costs closely; price is a deal-breaker unless policy or subsidies help.

- Big companies influence what gets sold and which innovations take off.

- Investors want solid proof before funding new ideas, and many aren’t patient with long timelines.

- Digital tools, like soil sensors, can help but aren’t a magic fix.

It’s tough to change how things are done, but when tech and real-world needs come together, there’s hope.

Bottom line: beating nitrous oxide in farming needs teamwork, practical ideas, and the patience to see them through.
