Sustainability, Conservation, & Home Improvements

July 22, 2024 3:15 pm|

What’s the difference between sustainability and conservation? Special guests Sydney Calhoun and Evan Eggersman join hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Sydney is the Trax Conservation Agronomy Lead, and Evan is the Trax Ag Technology and Sustainability Lead for Premier Companies.

In addition to learning about the basics of sustainability, you’ll learn how participating in the Trax program can increase the effectiveness of the conservation efforts of the grower. Evan will explain a bit about the nitrogen management and carbon sequestration programs and how farmers can be rewarded for their participation. They’ll also share about an exciting partnership between Truterra and the USDA that’s resulted in a program that can pay a grower to participate in the cover crop and no-till conservation efforts for the first time. If that's not enough, they’ll also touch on the reasons farmers have a love/hate relationship with cover-crops and the way technology can help a farmer collect the data to meet the program requirements. “We haven’t really had… somebody that can connect some of the government resources and Premier Ag together, and that’s what this whole grant has been about."

311. RTI International’s Amanda Rose on Indiana’s $69.6B agbioscience economy, three defined priorities for the future

July 22, 2024 5:34 am|

A team of researchers recently dug in to Indiana’s $69.6 agbioscience economy and its opportunities for growth well into the future – 2050, to be exact. Amanda Rose, agri-food systems lead for RTI International, joins us to elaborate on the newly released study, Accelerate 2050: A Vision for Indiana Agbioscience, and three defined opportunities for differentiated growth amid future uncertainty, including:

Farmer-Focused Innovation
Food is Health
BioInnovation

Why these opportunities? Amanda gets into the study’s methodology, marrying economic data with strategic foresight and creating the conditions for a future economy you want. These aren’t ideas bouncing off the wall but are grounded in existing assets that make Indiana unique. She also talks economic data, establishing a benchmark for future competitive analysis and how the data compares relative to other industries.

This study was largely about the future, so what’s ahead? Amanda talks about possible future scenarios for agbioscience on a global scale and the importance of operating and innovating at unique intersections to drive big outcomes – for people, plants, animals and the planet.
