H OW W E L ANDE D ON YOUR PL ANE T ?Intertrust is a 25 year old tech company based in Silicon Valley.We invented trusted computing over open networks like the InternetOur products and inventions allow peopleto manage rights and policies across physical and virtual boundariesWe are now applying these technologies tothe Internet of Things and Big Data (where trust is an issue)Our partner company Planet OS is dedicated tomining and organizing enormous data sets generated by planetary sensors

The human population expected to soar to 9.6+ Billion by 2050Most of these people will live in the “wrong place”Food and people may not be close to each other Our current means of agriculture and food distribution will not scale

Famine, the Third Horseman - from the Angers tapestry

M A LT H U S 101“That the increase of population is necessarily limited by the means of subsistenceThat population does invariably increase when the means of subsistence increaseThat the superior power of population is repressed, and the actual population kept equal to the means of subsistence, by misery and vice“

We will either destroyour way out of the problem

or we can invent our way out of it

The Green Revolution brought dramatic changes in agriculture, pesticides, fertilizers and farming practices that broke through the population wall of the 1960s.Came at a time of cheap energy, and mild climate and allowed growth

“I don't see how India could possibly feed two hundred million more people by 1980”

– M A R K T WA I N

“the report of my death was an exaggeration.”

Today, we are crushing biodiversityToday, we are farming the wrong things in the wrong placesToday, we almost need a counterrevolution — no free lunch

Technology can again help us punch through the population wall Internet technologies are disrupting agriculture, transport and retail - we can analyze the food cycle from seed-to-stomach and backConnected sensors at every point, and computers to crunch the enormous amounts of data to look for patterns that we can act onThe answers are in the data - But vast amounts of data can hide the real answers; Big Data Lenses will help

The data willnot be where you may want itThere’s going to be so much data that we’ll be looking for microscopic needles in the astronomical haystackSensors and data sets will be targets for cyber war. If you think burning someone’s fields is nasty, wait for what’s coming

C O NS U M E R I ZAT I O N O F F O O D T E C HConsumer technologies are disruptive - big industry, agriculture, personal health, food, etc.

Mobile, Internet, etc. can drive ubiquitous sensors in devices, many open problems exist, especially around privacy, security and digital commerce

Social networks and sharing economy technologies are empowering farmers, consumers, etc. (Airbnb for farms, Uber for food transport, etc.)

The ability to control things at a small scale means we can have the advantages of conglomeration in a distributed way

Back to the Future: In the 60s, we integrated Ag and food to exploit advances in fertilizers, pesticides, cheap energy, etc. Today, we can do more locally with the same effectBig Data systems and ubiquitous sensors can provide huge efficiencies for food growing, monitoring and deliveryAdvances in science and technology can only support and enable - need to change policy and behavior and education
