Is artificial intelligence about to transform agriculture more than any other industry? On Season Seven, Episode Four of The Food Professor podcast, Dr. Sylvain Charlebois and Michael LeBlanc sit down with Aidan Connolly, President of AgriTech Capital and past president of the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA), one of the world's leading voices on agtech and the future of farming.Aidan helped Alltech grow from roughly $25 million to $2.5 billion in revenue and now connects startups, investors and agri-food companies to help innovation scale. He separates agtech hype from real value, explaining why vertical farms, cell-cultured meat and insect farming struggled, and why AI's potential in agriculture may exceed any other sector if the industry can solve its farm data problem. He shares his DRIVE framework for AI adoption and weighs in on data ownership, cooling agtech venture capital, mega-farms and food traceability. Then he ranks countries on an S-to-D agtech tier list. Find out why Canada earns a B, Israel an A, and what Canada can learn from the Netherlands and New Zealand. You'll also hear Aidan's magic-wand fix for turning Canada into an agri-food superpower.In the news, Michael and Sylvain unpack a good week for Canadian agri-food policy. Canada's investment summit focused on energy and infrastructure. Even so, Farm Credit Canada's $1 billion project financing initiative, $150 million in agri-food capital and a new productivity tax break for small and medium-sized businesses could help farmers and food processors invest in automation and R&D. Sylvain argues a more productive, competitive food sector is Canada's best answer to U.S. tariffs.The hosts also weigh EU associate membership, the CETA payoff for Canadian cereal exports to Europe, and why Canada should say "yes to all" trading partners. Agriculture makes up just 1.9% of Canada's growing trade with China, while Chinese tariffs on Canadian peas add uncertainty.On grocery prices, food inflation has eased to 2.8%, but prices are up 28.9% since September 2021. Sylvain explains why food price volatility is the real enemy, with Canada logging 17 month-to-month drops in five years, the most in the G7. They also cover beef imports up 13%, with Australia and Brazil gaining, easing cattle prices, and why high diesel costs could add 0.4 percentage points to food inflation this winter.Plus: the return of Yves Veggie Cuisine under Maple Leaf Foods, crisis communication lessons from the Taylor Farms outbreak and the Silk recall, why the CFIA should declare when a recall is over, and a fun Dairy Farmers of Canada pop-up café on Toronto's Queen Street.Like, subscribe and share The Food Professor for weekly insights on food prices, agtech, trade and Canadian agriculture, and watch the full video episode now on YouTube.

The average price of a gallon of diesel just passed $6 for the first time late last week. Since then, it's kept climbing and hit $6.31 a gallon this morning. A year ago, it was well under $4. That, of course, has implications for all sorts of other prices across the economy, too — particularly at the grocery store. We explain.

Text the show! Oregon put a packaging fee on thousands of companies. There's just one problem: when you buy the product, you can't see what you're paying.And Oregon already knows how to do this differently.Buy a mattress and the recycling fee appears on your receipt. Buy paint and the fee is disclosed. Return a bottle and there's a dime attached to it — a dime that helped Oregon's bottle bill automatically correct itself when return rates fell.Then you get to groceries.Dozens of packaging rates. Thousands of participating producers. A nonprofit administering the system. Hundreds of millions of dollars eventually moving through the program.And no comparable number on your receipt.On this Taxation Tuesday Special, Chad Law follows the money through Extended Producer Responsibility and asks a much larger question: what happens when government stops calling a cost a tax, routes it through private institutions, and makes the final price nearly impossible for the public to see?The trail runs from Oregon to Colorado, Maine, California, overseas sellers, major corporations, nonprofits, and ultimately your grocery cart.And it ends with a simple Common Sense framework: THE DIME TEST.Where's the number?Whose receipt is it on?What happens if it doesn't work?Because the issue isn't whether recycling costs money.Of course it does.The issue is whether the people paying for government policy are allowed to know what it costs.

A coalition representing hundreds of independent grocers is suing New York City over Mayor Zohran Mamdani's plan to open five city owned grocery stores, arguing the taxpayer backed stores could put neighborhood businesses at a disadvantage.

Text the show! Beef is more expensive than ever.So why aren't America's ranchers getting rich?Because here's the part almost nobody tells you:The rancher doesn't really set the price. And neither do you.In today's Monologue Monday, Chad follows the American food system from the meat case backward — through cattle processors, patented seeds, tractor software, poultry contracts, government regulation and the $390 billion Farm Bill.And the same pattern keeps appearing.The farmer owns the land. He owns the equipment. He owns the debt. He owns the weather. He owns the risk.But somebody else increasingly owns the door.This episode isn't about hating corporations or asking Washington to set prices.It's about something much more basic:Competition.Why are there so few buyers for American cattle?Why can a farmer grow patented seed but not necessarily replant it?Why did farmers have to fight for access to software needed to repair tractors they already bought?And why does Washington keep spending billions "helping farmers" without creating more places for those farmers to actually sell what they produce?By the end, Chad gives you three questions you can use far beyond agriculture:How many doors are there? Am I paying for work — or permission? And what's actually on the docket?Count the doors. Follow the permission. Read the docket.
The U.S. livestock industry is concerned following President Trump's decision to remove import tariffs on beef, which could lower grocery prices but negatively impact domestic cattle producers. The AFBF, along with other associations, is communicating with the White House and Congress to oppose this move. Meanwhile, a new phosphate fertilizer plant in Wagaman, Louisiana, is set to reduce U.S. dependency on imported phosphate by up to 60%, producing 1.3 million metric tons annually. This developm

Political strategist and pollster Chris Wilson joins Lisa Boothe to break down the state of the 2026 midterm elections, the Republican Party's turnout problem, the Democratic Party's move to the left and why traditional political polling is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. Wilson, CEO of Eyes Over Technologies, explains why Republicans are facing a challenging but highly competitive midterm environment. While history favors Democrats and Republican voter intensity remains a concern, the GOP could benefit from the Senate map, redistricting and Democratic candidates who may be too far left for their states. So what should Republicans actually campaign on? Wilson argues that the winning message comes down to four words: affordability, security, trust and confidence. He explains why candidates should focus on the cost of groceries and everyday life, public safety, competent government and delivering tangible results for voters rather than relying on generic attacks about socialism. Lisa and Chris also examine critical Senate races in Michigan, Alaska, North Carolina, Ohio and elsewhere, along with the challenge of getting lower-propensity Trump voters back to the polls when Donald Trump himself isn't on the ballot. Then they tackle one of the biggest questions in modern politics: Can we still trust the polls? Wilson explains how declining response rates, inaccurate turnout models, early voting and rapidly changing public opinion are making traditional polling increasingly complicated. Finally, Wilson explains how artificial intelligence, online conversation analysis and real-time narrative tracking could transform political campaigns by showing not just where voters stand today, but where public opinion is moving heading into Election Day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
* Checking in with Ag Commissioner Mike Strain on grocery prices, drought, and more * A company was putting out fake polls in multiple states as part of what they say was an “experiment.” Should we be concerned?
One question, asked directly, for eleven minutes. Who were you before June 2015? Hawk's premise is that something changed when Donald Trump rode down that escalator, and that for a lot of people it changed permanently. An identity built around one man. A grievance framework that assigns every disappointment to somebody else. A new community that replaced the old one. The part he keeps returning to is the cost. Family relationships. Friendships. People at work. Conversations at Thanksgiving that do not happen anymore. He says he knows people who have lost nearly every close relationship they had and remain completely committed. So the question is whether it was worth it. He also lays out the record that supporters have absorbed along the way: the New York fraud judgment, the felony convictions, the Trump Organization's 2022 conviction, the Epstein connection, and an economy where gas, groceries, and utilities all cost more than they did. The closing question is the real one. What is it that he understands about you?

Hawk holds that against the rest of the picture. Gas prices at an August high, groceries up sharply, a one bedroom in San Francisco averaging 4,000 dollars a month, and Maggie Haberman's reporting that a large share of the president's attention is going to White House renovations. Approval sits around 32 percent. Hawk's frustration is not reserved for one side: with less than 90 days to the midterms, he watches voters who agree on nearly everything tear each other apart over primaries they lost, and says he feels more politically homeless than at any point in his adult life.

P.M. Edition for Aug. 10. The FDA has laid out new rules intended to make the food system more transparent, part of an overhaul promised by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. WSJ reporter Liz Essley Whyte discusses how the new rules would work and why guidelines for ultraprocessed foods didn't come today. Plus, as Iran strengthens its demands in negotiations to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf states have begun accepting a new reality: that Tehran will control the strait for the foreseeable future. We hear from WSJ Middle East correspondent Benoit Faucon about what they are doing about it. And more than 70 people have been killed in a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Colombia. Alex Ossola hosts.

Today on The Amber May Show, we follow the money across some of the biggest stories affecting American families. Grocery prices remain painfully high, and Matt Walsh explains why inflation, government spending, wars, fertilizer costs, drought, and shrinking cattle supplies continue to hit your weekly budget. We also examine the growing crisis inside the Democratic National Committee, Hunter Biden's claim that he cannot pay a $17 million legal bill, and Rep. Harriet Hageman's warning about federal education money flowing through bureaucrats, consultants, and nonprofit groups. JD Vance is targeting fraud across massive federal benefit programs, while Glenn Beck argues President Trump may be reshaping the global order in ways Americans will not fully understand for years. Then, Anthony Fauci faces pressure from two directions. Rand Paul is moving forward with a contempt resolution, and Florida has issued a formal subpoena seeking documents about what Fauci knew, what he privately believed, and whether he pursued personal profit connected to his government role. The central question today is simple: Who benefits, who pays, and who is finally being held accountable?

It's led some people to change their diets or where they shop. Others are taking more drastic measures by dipping into their savings or going into credit card debt.A 2025 survey from the Urban Institute found that one in four people using credit cards to buy food had trouble paying those bills.What's behind the jump in grocery prices?

From there Hawk turns to what he sees as the deeper issue: the electorate itself. He argues that in 2024, voters had full knowledge of Trump's record, the attempt to overturn the previous election, the events of January 6th, the indictments and the New York felony convictions, and chose him anyway. For Hawk, that choice, not any single official, is the root of where the country now finds itself. He is blunt that he sees no short-term fix. His view is that the results reflect the will of the people who turned out to vote, and that the same dynamics will outlast this administration. Hawk closes on a personal note about why he has chosen to live far from dense population, and signs off wishing viewers a safe week.

Our guest on this week's episode is Zach Tomkinson, chief commercial officer at Standard Bots. The U.S. government has been wrestling with a developing a national strategy for artificial intelligence – but another area that could use a similar strategy is in the area of robotics. Could such a strategy promote domestic robot manufacturing and help the U.S. win the automation race? To find out, Senior Editor Victoria Kickham welcomes today's guest. The U.S. war with Iran has now been running since February, which is nearly five months. And from a global supply chain point of view, one of the most durable impacts of the violence has been the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic, mostly affecting oil tankers. Of course, oil is crucial for logistics, whatever part of the world you live in. And we're now beginning to see the impact of that change on Americans' pocketbooks at home, specifically in the grocery aisle. Senior News Editor Ben Ames reports on the impacts that geopolitical tensions are having on what Americans place in their shopping carts.New research shows that 25% of businesses have suffered a cyber incident that originated in their supply chain over the past year. This is despite those organizations being highly aware of the risk facing them: nearly half (48%) said they have continued working with suppliers despite known resilience or security concerns.

Texas A&M University's David Anderson discusses the USDA's 18-month forecast. Grocery prices are likely to stay higher, largely because food and energy costs have outsized influence and can be harder to predict. The discussion emphasizes that forecasts aren't magic—major shocks like drought, animal disease outbreaks (such as avian influenza), or energy price spikes can shift what happens after the forecast is released—but the modeling still provides a useful planning picture.

Ottawa is investing more than $3 billion as part of a national food security strategy. It aims to combat anticompetitive industry practices, boost agricultural infrastructure to improve access to fresh produce year-round, and address online surveillance pricing. But it isn't the first time a Liberal government pulled out the stops to make groceries cheaper or address grocery store monopolies. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Pascal Thériault, Director of McGill University's Farm Management and Technology Program and an agricultural economist, to discuss what it means for Canadians to have a national food strategy, and whether or not it will actually lower grocery bills.

Chris breaks down why grocery bills could jump another 4–5%, why relief may not be coming anytime soon, and how both parties could respond with more stimulus-style giveaways instead of fixing the root problems behind the affordability crisis.

The analysis showed inflation-adjusted buying power increased between 11% and 22% between 1999 and 2025.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy review the Perla Del Mar Maduro Double Toro, a budget-friendly box-pressed cigar from J.C. Newman that delivers rich broadleaf flavor, solid construction, and enough spice, cedar, and earth to make it an easy humidor pick at around $7.50 a stick. They also pour George Dickel Barrel Select Tennessee Whisky, talk through its light profile, subtle sweetness, and how a little water or ice helps bring out more oak, spice, and vanilla — even if it still falls short of earning a permanent spot in the liquor cabinet. Along the way, the guys tear into a disastrous Gas Station Finds review of Reese’s White Eggs, debate Walmart’s new digital shelf labels and the possibility of dynamic pricing, react to a People magazine report on rising death rates among Gen X and elder millennials, and get into whether social media is quietly making everyone older, angrier, and more miserable. There’s also a detour into Ruth’s Chris enforcing its dress code, golf attire, convertible midlife-crisis math, and why some old-school brands are still worth your time. It’s cigars, whiskey, candy, grocery-store paranoia, aging, internet rage, and the usual wandering chaos that make Eat Drink Smoke what it is.
