Episode 16 - 21st Century Agriculture Part 2 + NextGen Ag + Kim Lovan + Zack Olson

September 17, 2018


It’s Episode 16, and we’re excited to bring in Part 2 of our 21st Century Agriculture series. But before we get there, even more clutch than the Chiefs pummeling the Steelers in Week 2, the results of our COB Twitter poll are in! Listen to see who was crowned the winner of drafting the best fantasy roster of famous scientists/pioneers!




This episode brings our follow-up discussion to our previous ‘agricultural innovation in academia’ discussion with a real-world ‘ag startup’ that is breaking ground in providing infrastructure solutions to rapidly expanding indoor agricultural applications. We sit down with Kim Lovan and Zack Olson, co-founders of NextGen Ag, to discuss what they are seeing in this emerging market and some hot takes on the changes happening now that are going to facilitate tectonic shifts in the food industry’s future.




Wrapping up today’s episode, instead of discussing the next chapter in Elon’s biography as per our MO for Book Club, we instead provide an overview of the epic interview between Elon and Joe Rogan that has been setting the social-sphere on fire in the previous weeks. Take a listen and get the download to stay in the know!
