Food has become the new religion. While denominations such as paleo, vegan, and organic debate which is the way, were ignoring a truth that affects us all: to support a population nearing 10 billion by 2050, agriculture must become infinitely sustainable.To feed the world, we have to grow 10,000 years worth of food in the next thirty years, which means farmers worldwide must increase food production by 60 to 70 percent.This book is about the small percentage of those farmers of consequence being called upon to grow the vast majority of the worlds staple food supply. While mighty in their ability, they need support from a general public that increasingly has no idea how they operate.In Food 5.0, Robert Saik takes you on a journey from the muscle era of farming to a future where the convergence of new technologies like sensors, robotics, and machine learning make infinite sustainability achievable. With the veil lifted on modern agriculture practices, youll be inspired to contribute to a culture where farmers can adopt the science and tools they need to carry out their mission of feeding the planet.
