Agriculture looks different today - our farmers are using GPS and you can monitor your irrigation systems over the Internet.
Technology has allowed us to have more drought-resistant crops. The spotty nature of drought, the spotty nature of rains can sometimes result in better yields than anticipated.
I consider it top priority to improve water quality and increase water quantity in my community.
There is also a marked global trend towards sustainable agriculture, building on traditional methods which use fewer chemical inputs, carefully manage soil and water resources, and work hand-in-hand with nature.
I believe that agriculture land - productive agricultural land with water on site - will be valuable in the future.
Having grown up on a family farm, I am all too familiar with the effects a drought can have on a crop.
I have seen firsthand that agricultural science has enormous potential to increase the yields of small farmers and lift them out of hunger and poverty.
We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.
Smart development invests in insulation, efficient cars, and ever-renewed sources of energy. Dumb growth crashes around looking for more oil.
I want to bring clean water to people who do not have it. What I'm trying to do now is think of ways to build a well-drilling machine that is low-cost so people in rural areas can afford it. People in rural places could use the water for irrigation or for drinking.
