Mariana joins me today to discuss how Agrosmart works and the problems it seeks to solve for farmers in developing countries. She shares where her drive to start her company came from and the challenges of finding capital and investors.

Mariana also explains why Brazil holds a lot of potential in terms of agriculture and the rising startup economy.
