Shownotes
In our milestone 100th episode, we're diving deep into the realm of climate-smart agriculture, a pivotal topic shaping the future of farming. Joining us are Max Teplitski, Chief Science Officer at the International Fresh Produce Association, and Drew Zabrocki, Managing Partner at TOTEM LTD. Together, we explore IFPA's ambitious climate-smart program, diving into its current status, anticipated outcomes, and the transformative benefits it offers.
From the essential role of soil health in crop cultivation to the challenges of data integration, we uncover how IFPA is bridging the gap between existing grower systems and innovative agricultural practices. As consumer consciousness drives demand for sustainable food production, we dissect the vital nexus between agriculture, climate, and consumer preferences. Reflecting on the evolving landscape of climate-smart agriculture, we emphasize the importance of education, flexibility, and patience in fostering widespread adoption.
