In the final episode of 2024 and Part 2 of this series, host Kristin Demoranville continues her compelling conversation with two influential experts: Andrew Rose, an AgFuturist, and Dr. Darin Detwiler, a renowned food safety advocate and educator.

Andrew shares his perspective on the challenges of balancing innovation and resilience in the food and agriculture sector. He emphasizes the importance of analog systems and legacy knowledge in a world increasingly dependent on digital solutions. He offers a compelling view of how businesses can build continuity and prepare for unexpected disruptions.

Dr. Detwiler brings a global lens to the table, discussing the vulnerabilities in our food supply and how cybersecurity must evolve to meet the challenges of an interconnected world. From regulatory gaps to the role of collective courage, his insights highlight the urgent need for action to ensure the safety and security of what sustains us all.

This episode powerfully concludes our first season, offering a blend of realism, hope, and practical wisdom. Join us as we close out the year with this meaningful conclusion to Season One.
