Agriculture was humanity's first technology: the deliberate working with and influencing natural systems to feed ourselves, beginning around 10,000 years ago. Every leap since; irrigation, mechanisation, the Green Revolution, genomics, all extended that same project. AI is the newest tool and the next evolution in the oldest thing we do. Which is why it's crucial we harness it correctly.

A few months ago we rolled out an AI tool to the whole Beanstalk team. It has been a wild learning journey; and exciting for a team that spends its time advising other organisations on innovation strategy, to be in the hot seat innovating ourselves.
