Youth, Agriculture, and the Future: Trent and Damian Buckley Break Down AI and GMO Trade
They dive into how incorporating new technologies into agriculture could spark more interest among today’s youth, offering a promising bridge between tradition and innovation. The conversation then shifts to the Harold Hamm Institute’s recent meeting, where leaders emphasized that the United States must stay ahead in developing artificial intelligence technologies. However, Trent and Damian explore the serious concerns about the massive amounts of electricity and water these AI centers require—an issue that often goes overlooked in the push for high-tech dominance. From there, they move to New Zealand’s strong anti-GMO stance, questioning what actually qualifies as "genetically modified" and examining how these definitions have become barriers in global trade. Many countries have banned certain GMO products, putting pressure on producers and raising deeper questions about food sovereignty and agricultural freedom. This episode is packed with important discussions about the future of farming, technology, and how policy decisions today will shape the generations to come.
