As we transition to "clean" energy, we must make sure that it is clean for "everyone". In Europe, experts say, some recycling factories are spotless. But that requires millions of dollars in technology. So we are doing for cheap in Africa poisoning children & adults.

Kicking off #canvas25 with a moving land acknowledgement, some Back to the Future fun, and a future-looking panel discussion that ranged from funding and investment, to food equity and security, to advances in data and genetics, to the massive impact AI will have on agriculture.

A colleague suggested a circular authorship list without any order, and I thought it would be fun to ask Claude.ai (@anthropic.com) to create one with a wordplay using soil orders. I had a quick chat with it for 2 minutes, and it came up with this result without me writing a single line of code #AI

Looking forward to hosting a discovery session dedicatd to Unearthing soil's secrets at TED2025. We'll get folx to explore one of the earth's most vital and threatened resources —soil; and learn how the complex system beneath your feet is beautiful and key to the diversity of life.
