And also, I think it's a skill that can be taught on an intern basis as well. You can have college students working. I mean, it solves some problems, right? It solves a lot of problems. Why aren't we doing this? Kyle, we need to start a movement right now.

I mean, and they can do it with like shipping containers, which just basically rot. I think anything you can do with a shipping container is pretty cool. Make a house, make a vertical garden, anything like that.

It's just amazing that people have that ingenious way of looking at the world around them to see something instead of just trash or just waste to make it something that's functional and sometimes quite pretty. But yeah, definitely.

Yeah, at least for like the fruits and vegetable aspect. But I mean, I'm sure they're not going to want to slaughter their own cows and things like that. I mean, that could be very detrimental to people, I suppose. But I like that idea because it teaches responsibility and appreciation for the food that you get and you have, right? It almost empowers people to care. And it's a great skill, right?

If you know how to grow carrots and tomatoes, that helps. You can grow this on your balcony in a city, you know, or anywhere else. I used to do that. I mean, I grow herbs inside my house. I suppose that's a bit of vertical farming in itself. And it definitely is biohacking, I guess. But I think the younger generations kind of recognize this, Kyle.

I think that they do see that there needs to be more. But the problem is, is that the way our systems are set up, it's not set up to do that just yet. And this could be, I mean, if anybody wants to do this, please let us know. Or if you know if it's happening, please let us know. Because I think that that is such a brilliant idea and it empowers people.

And that empowerment in itself can help with resilience because it's not such a daunting task and doom and gloom. This is a positive moment. I think we need more of those types of wins moving forward, especially as we're having this change in labor force. In terms of technology and labor force, I've had a couple of conversations with some people in larger farms, do IT and cybersecurity.

And they were saying that they're hoping that AI will actually come in and help with some of their labor shortage issues because they can offset some of. that to AI rather than having to hire different people. And there's restrictions because of language, displacement of people, because obviously we all know that a lot of our crops in the United States, as an example, are not picked by Americans.

They are outsourced. But we have this labor shortage now. because of other immigration restrictions and things of such. And I don't want to get into the politics of that, obviously, but they are hoping that AI is going to help drive that. Are you seeing that anywhere else in the world, that AI is potentially an answer for some of the food insecurity?

Hey, listeners, just a quick break to tell you about something special from our friends at Crisis Lab. If you're in crisis and emergency management or interested in resilience, you know how crucial it can be to stay ahead of the curve.
