Who Grew the Best Spuds?

In this video, I sit down with legendary permaculture teacher Geoff Lawton for a fascinating conversation about potatoes, food forests, permaculture — and AI.

Can artificial intelligence actually understand the complexities of a living ecosystem? Can it help us design better gardens, grow food more intelligently, or even think like a permaculturist?

Geoff and I put AI into the conversation and explore where this rapidly changing technology might fit into a world built around observation, nature, diversity and common sense.

There are potatoes. There is permaculture. There is artificial intelligence. And, as usual, the conversation wanders into some unexpected places.
