Ep 49 | Anastasia Volkova on AI, Climate Resilience & the Future of Agriculture

In this episode of Asia’s Farm to Fork: 5 Good Questions, we speak with Dr. Anastasia Volkova, CEO and co-founder of Regrow Ag, a global leader in climate and agriculture technology.

Anastasia shares how Regrow evolved from academic research into a platform helping companies and farmers build resilience across their supply chains. She explains why sustainability, profitability, and resilience are inseparable—and why agriculture can only be sustainable if farmers can make a living from it.

The conversation highlights the climate challenges facing Asia’s smallholder farmers, the findings of Regrow’s State of Agricultural Resilience report, and why high concern paired with uneven preparedness is a warning sign for global food systems.

Anastasia also breaks down how AI and machine learning—from satellite-based modeling to Regrow’s new “Plan AI” tool—are transforming agricultural decision-making by turning complex data into actionable insights.
