    Feedback on Food: How Data is Enabling the Evolution of the Food System

    Agriculture right now is quickly evolving to focus more on data collection and analysis at every step of the supply chain from growing to packing, selling, and shipping. There's a number of data points out there indicating that this trend won't be slowing down anytime soon. From farmers leveraging IoT devices to enhance their precision agriculture practices, to distributors leveraging data to reduce waste and improve food safety, there is a lot that data can tell us about our food every step of the way. As consumers become more interested in food traceability and the origin story behind the food they buy, there will be greater incentives to make this information more available at the point of purchase as well.

    Fixing Healthcare: A Path Forward Anchored in Diet, Nutrition and Mental Health

    Over the past 18 months, we’ve heard much from the CDC and medical community about the effectiveness of social distancing, vaccines and testing in limiting the spread of COVID-19. At the same time, it’s become common knowledge that pre-existing conditions like obesity amplify the devastating impact of the virus and its variants. Why aren’t we talking about the role of diet, nutrition and other common sense steps in limiting the pandemic and its impact?

    Putting a Price on Carbon: A Bipartisan Opportunity?

    Hopes are high with the new administration and its renewed focus on climate that the myriad Carbon initiatives mushrooming worldwide will get a much-needed boost in terms of meaningful attention and commitment. But given the complexity of carbon measurement, tracking and markets, are we at the point where we can put a realistic and widely agreed-upon price on Carbon? And does cracking the code on Carbon represent a long-awaited opportunity for true bipartisan cooperation? To help answer these questions and others, we are joined by: James Glueck, former Staff Director at U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Jody Longshore, Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Sustainability, Sentera Carter Williams, CEO, iSelect Fund Moderator: Paul Noglows, Executive Producer, Crusonia
