The second program in the series, “Future of the Food System: Consumer Butterflies, Producer Wizards, and Everything in Between,” is set for Sept. 19 at 3 p.m. ET. Is the food system broken or just moving to its next version? Can our multitalented farmers keep up with changing consumer preferences? Are we moving into a new realm or to a place of familiarity? Across the food system and within every individual sector, some level of disruption is underway. The key to winning is recognizing the weak signals from one end (the consumer butterfly effect), capitalizing on technology like AI, robotics and CRISPR, then turning that into a differentiated farmer/customer/consumer experience. Join Rob Dongoski as he provides the Kearney perspective on what is changing and how to chart your path forward. To register, click here.
