In this edition of Feed Matters, we talk to Aidan Connolly about his collection of essays: The Future of Agriculture.

In this episode we talk to Aidan Connolly, President of AgriTech Capital, about his recent book, The Future of Agriculture, which is a collection of essays reflecting the challenges and trends in a rapidly changing agriculture, from a pragmatic and practical perspective.

When Seamus Heaney wrote, “Walk on air, against your better judgement,”  he could have been writing about Pauline Turley.From Newry to New York, Pauline has paired hard work with serendipity to arrive at her pivotal role charting the impressive trajectory on New York's Irish Arts Center from a cramped tenement building to its expansive new home.She tells of how winning the Green Card lottery led this Trinity College Drama and Theatre Studies grad to depart for New York on something of a lark, of hustling her way into work in bars and restaurants, and of picking up the telephone book to discover the Irish Arts Center, where two weeks after starting work she'd find herself in charge of the whole thing as its executive director.And the IAC would be her professional and spiritual home for the next 26 years and counting, first as its executive director and for the past 16 years its vice chair with Aidan Connolly bringing his government and non-profit management chops to the executive director role.Imagine the patience, ingenuity, energy, collaboration, and cajoling that went into conceiving and then realizing the dream for a new home for Irish arts in New York. And as opening day approached, Pauline had another major project in gestation, her daughter Lily who conveniently held off her arrival until after Pauline had wrapped up the year's IAC Gala.The migration from its old home has opened new possibilities for Irish arts in New York, with bigger venues for music and dance, spaces for visual arts, and new ways to play a growing role in the multicultural vitality of the city. IAC is a place where you could find the punk rock musical Good Vibrations from Belfast's Lyric Theatre on the main stage, while in a studio space around the corner a decidedly non-punk crowd is having good craic with traditional Irish set dancing.From The Troubles in Northern Ireland to the triumph of the Irish Arts Center in New York—join us in our conversation with the “Muse of Irish Arts in New York,” here on Irish Stew.For Tickets to “Good Vibrations: A Punk Rock Musical” (June 14-July 16, 2023) go to: https://irishartscenter.org/event/good-vibrations-a-punk-rock-musicalLinksPauline TurleyTwitterLinkedInIrish Arts CenterWebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagram

A technology revolution is here and it's happening right before our eyes. So, to keep improving dairy performance, we must keep up with the latest technology.

Now in its seventh year of analysis, the Global Feed Survey continues to serve as a valuable report on the state of the global feed industry. In addition to its insights into the feed industry itself, the report serves as a barometer for agriculture as a whole, and demonstrates the economic strength of the countries surveyed. What can we learn from the 1.068 billion tons of feed produced globally? Aidan Connolly, chief innovation officer and vice president of corporate accounts at Alltech, mined the data to cultivate seven key findings.

Innovations in the agricultural industry come in many forms. From technological advances to improving farming practices, the world is slowly but surely guaranteeing safe and sustainable food sources for generations to come. But, what if we take that a step further? What if we have a system in place that enables traceability, security, improves food safety and gets everyone involved in making sure food quality is top notch? That is what the concept of Blockchain seeks to implement.   In this episode, Tim discusses the concept of Blockchain and why it’s one of the most ambitious, yet sensible approaches when it comes to advancing the agricultural industry. He lays down the facts, his sources, and why it’s not so different to how Bitcoin operates. He also explains how a typical Blockchain approach would work with our current supply chain.     “Blockchain is a series of technologies that can build trust in our supply chain.”– Tim Hammerich     This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast:    What is Blockchain and how can it affect agricultural businesses? What information does it provide farmers? Can you trust Blockchain with sensitive data?
