Why Book an AI in Agriculture Speaker?
Agriculture and agribusiness are undergoing a major shift: precision agriculture, IoT, and AI are changing how growers and processors work—but the gap between hype and reality is wide. As an AI in agriculture keynote speaker and trainer, I help growers, industry associations, and food companies understand where AI adds value and where human judgment remains essential. My keynotes and training sessions are tailored to the sector: accessible, practical, and grounded in real use cases.

What I Cover: AI for Agriculture & Agribusiness
I tailor content to your audience—growers, processors, industry support organizations, or mixed groups. Topics I regularly cover include:
- AI and precision agriculture — Sensors, data, and decision support: what’s realistic today and what’s emerging.
- AI in food processing and quality — Sorting, grading, quality prediction, and waste reduction.
- Responsible AI in agriculture — Governance, validation, and knowing when to keep humans in the loop.
- Where AI helps—and where it doesn’t — Clear expectations so teams don’t over-invest or under-use new tools.
- Training and literacy — Helping field and office teams understand AI so they can use it safely and effectively.
Past Engagements: Agriculture & Food
I’ve delivered keynotes and training specifically for the agriculture and food sector. Examples include:
- Rotary Club of Lethbridge East — Rotary Ag Scholarship Awards Dinner (March 2026) — Keynote at the annual Rotary Ag Scholarship Awards Dinner, supporting Southern Alberta’s next generation of agricultural leaders.
- McCain Foods / South Alberta Potato Industry (2026) — Training session on AI for growers, industry, and support organizations in the potato sector.
These engagements reflect my approach: translating technical concepts into decision frameworks and training that field and industry teams can act on. I’m comfortable speaking to mixed audiences—from growers and agronomists to processors and industry boards.
