On today's REX Daily Podcast, Dom talks with futurist Melissa Clark-Reynolds about how she became a futurist, what it involves and the future of food, technology and agriculture. They also discuss the future of AI, the NZ general election, the Iran war and being a keynote speaker at the upcoming Ignite 26 Growth Summit (May 6)... And he talks with Dr Isaac Henderson, Vice President of the Aviation Industry Association of New Zealand, about reform of the rules governing agricultural drone operations, why he thinks they should be staged and supported by licensing and rating programmes before existing safeguards are removed and why improved farmer access to agricultural drones is not a low-risk activity.
