SXSW 2024
The Soul & Science of Regenerative Agriculture
Description:
Bad news about ecosystem collapse is everywhere. Some experts claim the world only has 60 harvests left using current extractive farming techniques. But what if healing the climate and our health started with healing our soil? What if a high view of nature could be married with high tech? In this presentation, a former big oil engineer turned permaculture expert and a traditional rancher turned regenerative agriculture expert explore emerging technologies like precision farming, Ai-driven monitoring systems, and blockchain traceability, to enhance regenerative agriculture.
