A Look Back to Better Understand the Future of Animal Agriculture
Technology is advancing at an amazing rate. You might not think that looking at the history of animal agriculture would provide much insight into how we might think about gene editing and other technology in the future. Mike's guest this episode, Will Wright, an animal historian at Augustana University, asserts that there is much to learn from the past. He makes a strong case as he explains the development of animal agriculture from pastoral days up to today and helps us understand how we think about animal agriculture and how we might frame discussions about technology in the future.
