In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil sits down with ag-tech strategist Matt Carstens of Solve Business Partners to explore the rapidly evolving agricultural landscape and the urgent need for innovation across the supply chain. Drawing on his deep roots in farming and decades of industry experience, Matt shares insights on what’s working—and what isn’t—in modern agriculture, from outdated distribution models to the growing role of AI and data-driven decision-making. The conversation dives into how companies like Solve are helping agribusinesses remove barriers, rethink go-to-market strategies, and adopt breakthrough technologies like nutrient “crop tabs” that could transform how inputs are delivered and used. Together, they emphasize the importance of embracing science, empowering farmers with stronger voices, and staying open to change as the industry shifts toward more efficient, transparent, and farmer-centric systems designed to feed a growing world sustainably.
