Jed Wheeler discusses the development of new crops from high potential native food crops that are adapted to current and future climates and highlights the importance of biodiversity and native plants in supporting native pollinators and the ecosystem.

Jed also explains the two parts of his solution: targeted domestication of new crops using gene-informed rapid breeding and the development of new agronomic systems for crops that don't require breeding, such as acorns. He emphasizes the challenges of finding mission-aligned investors.
