SFTW Wrapped 2024

Right around and after Thanksgiving here in the US, many of us have eaten more than we should, and/or impulse bought more stuff than we should have.

Spotify’s genius is to drop Spotify Wrapped right around that time, to help us feel good about the music we listened to, and then share the goodness with our friends and family.

Not that anyone cares, but for the n’th year in a row, my top song on Spotify was “Lose Yourself” by Eminem from 8 Mile.

For this week’s edition, I am running a group SFTW Wrapped version and am highlighting 1 editions which sparked the most amount of constructive discussions.

2024 has been an interesting year of experimentation for SFTW.

SFTW added a paid tier a few weeks ago.
Launched new like “Scaling Innovation”, “Last Month in AgriFoodTech”, and “SFTW Convos”
Started working with a student/artist for artwork.

As you will see through these 10 editions, I have written about robotics and automation, GenAI, regenerative agriculture, food and ag value chains, role of (or lack there off) technology giants in agriculture, platforms, and much more. The through line for them has been the central role of technology in evolving business models, bringing better products for customers, and value creation and capture for organizations.

Please send me a note if you would like me to go deeper in certain areas for 2025. Having said that, the role of technology in food and agriculture continues to be a fascinating topic, and cannot be more thankful to you for being part of this journey.
