We really need to see more folks getting interested in food system innovation. This is just one of many outcomes we are seeing as a result of our current system which is highly unsustainable.

There are so many entry points for our brightest minds to reinvent the value chain of food. Inputs, plant breeding, machinery, precision ag, logistics, processing, and marketing. Agriculture is also one of the least digitized industries.

We also need to consider an entire paradigm shift when it comes to food. Does a sustainable food system provide the same variety of food we currently see? Does a sustainable system cost the same as our current one? I don't know, but we should be ready those potential changes.

I'm personally excited to see the intersection of personalized health and food systems. Technologies which reduce food waste, non-communicable disease, and improved bodily and societal health.
