## Summary
The global food system is highly productive but ecologically destructive. Each major past innovation (synthetic fertiliser, the Green Revolution, the cold chain, genetic modification, food regulation) solved one problem and created new, unintended ones. Using systems thinking, the book identifies five levers through which AI will act on the food system (data, knowledge, decision-making, physical automation and scientific discovery) and examines the opportunities and risks of each. It closes with recommendations for policymakers and industry.

## Audience
General readers interested in food, farming or AI; professionals in agriculture, food, investment and policy.

## Author
Elliott Grant, Co-Director of the Bennett Innovation Lab at the Whittle Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Formerly led Mineral, the agricultural AI project at Alphabet's X, and was founding CEO of HarvestMark. More than sixty US patents. MEng and PhD in Engineering, Cambridge.
