Audio Postcard: Real-time farming
This episode was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Anthony Green and Emma Cillekens. It was edited by Mat Honan and mixed by Garret Lang, with original music from Jacob Gorski. It's Jennifer Strong and I have something a little bit different this week. We're in the middle of making another miniseriesโฆ and this time I'm looking at how farming operations are using AI to more precisely grow foodโฆ with help from machine vision, satellites, and incredible quantities of data. So I've been spending a lot of time talking to farmers and agricultural tech workers who are building and experimenting with these toolsโฆand in the weeks ahead?

It was adapted for audio and produced by Jennifer Strong and Emma Cillekens.
