32 Agriculture Flourishes in 20 th Century While population increases Ag productivity increases Farms decrease: 6M to 2M in US Fewer in the sector: 50% to 2% 1/3 the labor: 7 x the output Prices fall 1% / year: less income needed for food Innovation is responsible What can WE learn?
33 Transformation Follows the Agricultural Era 20 th Century Transformed in how food is made, moved, and used 21 st Century Transformation offers significant promise for energy More affordable Locally available Better quality More choice
In Closing Recognize global energy needs Transforming energy through how we: Make it Move it Use it Embrace the challenge. Innovate. Seek opportunity to increase the rate of learning. If we did all the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves Thomas Edison
