The Food Fight

Farming is undergoing a transformation, driven by climate change, water scarcity, and technological innovation. With rising temperatures, erratic weather patterns, and increasing water shortages, growers are facing unprecedented challenges. But can digital agronomy and AI-powered solutions help?

In this episode, we sit down with Darryn Keiller, founder and CEO of WayBeyond, to explore how data-driven farming, predictive analytics, and AI are revolutionising agriculture. Darryn shares insights on how precision irrigation, real-time climate modelling, and automated pest management are helping farmers optimise production, conserve resources, and prepare for the future.

The global food system is at a crossroads. While food and agriculture serve as economic backbones for many nations, they are also the leading contributors to biodiversity loss, climate change, and food insecurity. How do we transform this system to serve people and the planet better?

In this episode, Andrew Bovarnick, Global Head of Food and Agricultural Commodity Systems at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), joins hosts Matt Eastland and Lucy Wallace to discuss how governments, corporations, and farmers can work together to drive meaningful change.
