As climate change continues to have a larger effect on how agriculture works, how are the experts on the ground preparing for the future? Dr. Arti Singh, Dr. Patrick Schnable, and Todd Western III tell us how they see the future of agriculture, from using AI and robots to give farmers a better understanding of their crops in real-time and develop drought-resistance, to providing resources to Iowa's farmers of color and using environmentally sustainable farming techniques, like regenerative agriculture.
