Jack Uldrich

Agriculture is on the cusp of revolutionary change. The confluence of a series of powerful technological, geopolitical, economic and social megatrends will create an increasingly chaotic and cloudy future for everyone.

Within this swirling sea of uncertainty, a literal world of opportunity awaits those who accept change, stay flexible, embrace experimentation, and work to create a culture of innovation.

In this energetic, entertaining, educational and enlightening keynote presentation, futurist and best-selling author Jack Uldrich will begin by outlining the startling–and sometimes staggering–advances in artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, gene-editing, robotic automation, sub-orbital Internet, and precision and vertical farming. He will then discuss how these trends are converging with other seismic shifts in geopolitics, consumer behavior and economics to drive everything from innovative new financing models to advances in sustainable energy, and the growth of regenerative agriculture.

Uldrich will conclude by sharing concrete actions farmers and agribusiness leaders can take to not only survive but thrive in tomorrow’s world of rapidly accelerating change.
