Agbioscience is the only economy that touches every person on the planet. Over the past four decades, we’ve seen massive transformation, innovation and acceleration of output in this economy. Today we are joined by a leader who has had a front row seat to it all. Jay Hulbert, CEO of Ag Alumni Seed, joins us ahead of his retirement to talk:

Biotechnology as a step-function change to revolutionizing the row crop world through improved genetics
His perspective on the future of gene editing in agriculture and what’s on the horizon
Jay’s support of entrepreneurs and the importance of their flexibility to make business models work long-term
His extensive background in specialty crop and some of the market intelligence that has paved the way for new products we see in produce today
The job that needs to be done as he sees it – or more like, the resources that likely need to be shifted toward climate resilient crops
