Yeah.

And I guess, what are your hopes?

Let's go there.

What are your hopes for how what you're doing and what others are doing could scale and what could be possible in the next five or 10 years?

What's the future that you imagine and want to see as it relates to this coming in the horizon?

I love that.

That's a beautiful place to end the conversation.

Thank you for this, Patricia.

It's always so lovely to talk to you and hear about your bacteria training.

So thanks for joining us today.

Hi, Catherine.

It's so good to have you here in the TED offices.

A rare treat.

I also just want to say to our listeners that if you hear some people or sounds, it's because we are surrounded by our colleagues here.

So many different things to get into with you, but I would love to just start by knowing what first sparked your passion in using satellite data to tackle food insecurity.

Yeah, I love that.

You talk a lot in the conversations that we've had about the disconnect between the massive amounts of data and knowledge that we have and the, as you call it, failure of translation, you know, where the data doesn't actually reach farmers in real time or in a useful format.

Right.

From your perspective, what's the biggest barrier standing in the way of turning the data you have into action?

I'm curious, is it about where the technology is in development, which we'll get into later, obviously, and you talk a lot about, or is it the way that that information is then delivered to the farmer or the person on the ground that can make use of it?
