Ag Tech Sunday - The five forces shaping the future of food and Ag

By Agthentic Group

Listen to the podcast here.

We'd all like to be able to predict what the next big technological disruption or trend will be. But while we can't exactly do that, we can look at signals happening today, and use them to drive our thinking about the future. In this bonus episode, Sarah Nolet presents five future forces shaping innovation in food and agriculture, and shares insights about what these forces mean for producers, investors, and entrepreneurs today.

You may know Sarah as the host of this podcast, but in this bonus episode you'll hear a slightly edited version of a keynote talk she gave based on research Agthentic Advisory conducted for AgriFutures Australia.

In this talk, Sarah examines the interconnecting technologies, trends and market signals which are poised to change how society produces, eats and even conceptualizes food.
The five forces she discusses are:

•Viral disinformation in the food system
•Interconnected digital infrastructure
•Rewiring the grid
•Domesticating the cell
•New geographies of climate change

This keynote address was given as part of the Digital Innovation and Smart Agriculture festival, in Hamilton, Victoria (Australia). Audio courtesy of the Southern Grampians Shire.
