Agriculture and technology inflection point: Are our creaky and faltering century old food systems poised for revival?


The fundamental flaw in our initial wave of agricultural technology wasn’t just a lack of tools, it was a mismatch of approach. We applied linear, industrial logic to exponential, biological systems, and […] critical barriers kept us stalled:
Today’s foundation models, trained on vast datasets, function like a team of expert researchers, synthesizing connections across weather patterns, soil health, plant genetics, and microbial activity.
[The start-up company] Agritech is at its own Netscape moment: AI serves as the browser, decoding biological complexity, while computing costs, down 1000x, make it economically viable to process nature’s data. The internet accelerated from “email’s a fad” to “every company’s a tech company” in a blink. Biology’s digital revolution is outpacing even that trajectory.…
This isn’t a fleeting trend, it’s the dawn of a transformative alliance between technology and nature, one that regenerates ecosystems, enhances human health, and unlocks unprecedented economic value. The £16 trillion fusion of food and healthcare is accelerating faster than even the most optimistic forecasts predicted.
