When it comes to Crystal Balls- Dr. Lowell Catlett has one of the best when it comes to peering into the future of agriculture. That future was described by Dr. Catlett to a full Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday evening at the Third Convention Session of the National FFA in Indianapolis.
Before he took the stage, we spent some time listening to some of his latest visions for where agriculture is going- and he believes the benefits for society are going to be enormous and the payoff to agriculture will be substantial. He sees the current generation of young people that make up the FFA organization today as one that is untethered- and can take full advantage of harnessing some of the innovations now coming down the road. He spoke to FFA members about how they can help solve the hunger crisis and how it's up to their generation.
He offered up some specific examples of how "smart food" will make a difference in the lives of people in the nearby future- examples you can hear by listening to our conversation with this New Mexico State University Professor.
