Agriculture is the most destructive industry that we have. More than coal mining and other extractive industries.

Now listen, the one thing about agriculture is we've lost our manufacturing, we've lost a great deal of jobs overseas, lots of our industry. The last thing in the world we need to do is lose the ability to produce our food.

Agriculture as we know it needs to disappear. We can design better and healthier proteins than we get from nature.

Agriculture was the first manufacturing industry in America and represents the best of all of us.

Industrial agriculture, because it depends on standardization, has bombarded us with the message that all pork is pork, all chicken is chicken, eggs eggs, even though we all know that can't really be true.

I see any production of any nature being good for the development of the whole industry.

All the companies I've worked for have this deep problem of devolving to something like the hunting and gathering cultures of 100,000 years ago. If businesses could find a way to invent 'agriculture,' we could put the world back together and all would prosper.

There's a big difference between industrializing production of tractors and industrializing production of food. We like technology, but we really like technology that allows us to do better what nature does itself.

The meat and poultry industries are outstanding industries, and it's going to be a very natural fit for me.
