Introducing: The OZY Genius Awards

The great American pastime of road-tripping may only now be entering its heyday. In future decades, thanks to the growing prevalence of electric and autonomous vehicles, Americans may be able to enjoy the road, and a new breed of roadside attractions, as never before.

Everybody loves to move. How we choose to move will determine what life looks like for the next generation. In this season of The Future of X, we take a look at the future of mobility, in partnership with Ford. The future of mobility has the potential to electrify our imagination, sustain our planet and connect us like never before. If you want to see how we can get there, then get in and buckle up. It's going to be a wild ride.

Over the past several decades, the growth of large agribusinesses has made it harder for smaller local farms to keep up. In this episode, we explore the importance of small, local farms for building the sustainable agricultural models of the future that will be essential to meeting consumer needs and feeding the planet.

Big data has been marching into the fields for several years, and it's a trend that is likely to continue in the years ahead. In this episode, we look at how data is revolutionizing farming, from addressing pollution to giving new meaning to the saying, "work smarter, not harder."

"You are what you eat," as the old saying goes, and consumers are thinking more about what they eat — and who they are — than ever before. In this episode, we explore some of the trends defining our ethical food choices, from animal welfare to sustainability, and look at what the future might hold for these trends going forward.

Agriculture sits at the center of some of the biggest challenges we will face in the future, including climate change, biodiversity and food security. It could also point us back to our roots for a powerful restorative solution: healing the soil.

Ever look down at your plate of food and wonder where the ingredients came from? OZY's hit podcast franchise The Future of X is back, and this season we're investigating The Future of Farming with our friends at Vital Farms. Each episode will take a look at the all-important field of farming, from how data will revolutionize farming to the impact of Big Agriculture. Plus, explore the possible solutions to food insecurity and climate change, such as regenerative agriculture. Ready to dig in?
