Ep 56: Cutting-edge tech to keep food growing, no matter what

Agriculture contributes to climate change, sure, but climate change also makes agriculture a whole lot harder. This week, Poornima Parameswaran, co-founder and CEO of Trace Genomics, discusses the company's mission to unlock the hidden potential of soil and empower farmers to make data-driven decisions. By analyzing DNA mapping, data science, and machine learning, Trace Genomics provides farmers with comprehensive insights into their soil's biological and chemical properties. The data is used to optimize farming practices, improve yields, and mitigate disease risks. The goal is to build resilient soils and create a sustainable food system that’s ready for any climate.Links:Trace Genomics: https://tracegenomics.com/All episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://plus.acast.com/s/everybody-in-the-poolPlease subscribe and tell your friends about Everybody in the Pool!
