A new podcast from Metaviews focused on the future of our agri-food system. The Future Herd is built around conversations with leaders, practitioners, and decision-makers working across agriculture, policy, research, and innovation. The show treats the future not as a forecast, but as a shared coordination problem—one that demands collaboration, experimentation, and collective sense-making. Each episode explores how we adapt together, revealing the real pressures, trade-offs, and opportunities shaping food systems in real time.
