Peter Zeihan at🌾FARMCON 2023 - Conference for Creative Minds in Agriculture FARMCON is an opportunity for you to connect with like-minded movers and shakers in the ag sector. These are people who have felt the ground crumbling beneath their feet and lived to tell the tale. Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist: the study of how people and places impact financial, economic, cultural, political and military developments. Zeihan is also an award-winning author with NY Times Best Seller, "The End of the World is Just the Beginning". This book maps out the next world: a world where countries or regions will have no choice but to make their own goods, grow their own food, secure their own energy, fight their own battles, and do it all with populations that are both shrinking and aging. With Russia's latest military moves and all of the uncertainty with China, I thought there was no better time to hear from Zeihan and take a look through his lens. Remember, with any business, you need to get the larger macro view correct. This is a must for gaining a better understanding of the larger macro picture!

Blockchain

Using Blockchain Technology to Improve the Cannabis Supply Chain Supply chain is often said to be one of the best use cases for blockchain technology and so I was especially excited to sit down with Dr. Isaac Balbin the Founder of PARSL to learn more about how they are utilizing blockchain technology to improve the cannabis supply chain. This is the first time I’ve had someone from the cannabis industry on my channel and so I was really excited to learn more about how these two emerging industries are finding ways to co-exist. We talk through the process of how PARSL works and the Smart Tags they use to bring more transparency of sourcing and different strains. Isaac talks about the issues of misrepresentation in terms of what the end consumer or patient is getting and how it’s not always accurate. This presents a large problem because different strains impact people in different ways and patients depend on the end product being correct.

Next Generation Supply Chain Driven by Blockchain Trimble Transportation Enterprise Solutions, a leading provider of enterprise software to over 2,000 transportation and logistics companies, and the largest data science organization in the industry, supports thousands of customers, cabs, and trailers on the road. The freight and transportation industry today relies on inherently manual systems, where spreadsheets and individual files are updated by each party every time a new action is required. This causes a lack of accountability and zero visibility into important data stored in file-based systems. Trimble has developed several blockchain-based applications to give its customers a better platform experience. They are now joining their ecosystem by bringing together a way to engage in a single unified platform. Trimble will unveil a new Transportation Management System as a Service, called Harmony, built on a blockchain architecture powered by Apache Kafka and Apache NiFi. Trimble has designed an architecture that leverages Hortonworks Big Data solutions, HDP, HDF and Machine Learning models to power up multiple Blockchains, which improves operational efficiency, cuts down costs and enables building strategic partnerships The platform provides visibility for all participants across the entire Pick-Pack-Ship and Order-to-Cash processes Apache NiFi acts as the key data ingestion/management layer that determines which data stays off-chain for advanced analytics and which data goes on-chain for complete immutability and auditability.
