After a short hiatus, the Voices of the Valley Podcast marks its return with new episodes featuring technologists, entrepreneurs and farmers on how agricultural technology has evolved in 2020 and 2021.
The latest episode, which aired yesterday, featured Candace Wilson on CRISPR gene editing and the incremental gains in both traditional and new breeding. Wilson, who led operations at Seminis/Monsanto/Bayer for the past 15 years and now serves as Vice President of Business Development at GreenVenus, also speaks about the importance of developing technology as a “team sport” and taking a global approach to solving problems and moving agriculture forward.
FUTURE PODCAST EPISODES
New episodes of Voices of the Valley will be released weekly. The next episode airs Monday (May 31) with Concentric Power’s Amy Tomlinson who will speak about her experience as the first female Blue Angel and provide insight on how her career in the Navy has played a role in her agtech journey. Last year, Tomlinson also participated in the Veteran’s Day Salute, a virtual event where agtech innovators discussed how the military prepared them for their current roles.
Upcoming podcast episodes will feature Dennis Donohue, Voices of the Valley Host and Director of Western Growers Center for Innovation & Technology, interviewing agtech pioneers such as Turlock Fruit Company’s Neill Callis, California Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement’s Tim York, and Western Growers’ Walt Duflock, among other industry leaders.
