Closing Session
(3:00 – 4:00 p.m.)

The Final Frontier – Where Are We Headed?
What will agriculture look like a decade from now? Which of these forces will cause permanent changes and which are only temporary? Are there emerging forces which are just developing or yet unidentified? Noted investment consultant, Sano Shimoda, with BioScience Securities, Inc., will provide his “crystal ball” look at the forces reshaping agriculture.

Sano Shimoda is President and Founder of BioScience Securities, a boutique corporate advisory and investment banking firm in the Los Angeles area. His firm is unique in its focus in agricultural biotechnology and bio-products. The firm was founded in 1993 based on a vision that the long-term development of agricultural biotechnology would redefine the value creation potential of agriculture and broaden its reach to new markets in the broad economy. This vision was correct as biotechnology, and now biofuels and other bio-products, are shaping agriculture’s future.

Sano has over 30 years of experience in the Wall Street community focusing on agriculture, biotechnology, biofuels and the agricultural chemical industries. Sano is well recognized for his forward-looking views of the changing dynamics new bio-developments will have on agriculture and the overall economy. BioScience Securities’ views are widely quoted in both general business and agricultural-oriented publications.
