You’re Not Thinking Big Enough: Rebuilding Food Systems with AI Agents — Cody Menefee, Firecrawl
AI Engineer — Sep 23, 2026 — talk
Why watch
Cody Menefee presents Open Pasture, an AI agent system that helps farmers make rotational grazing decisions by combining GPS collar data, pasture conditions, and grass growth modeling. The system uses vision layers to assess biomass and biodiversity, scrapes farmer knowledge from YouTube and research papers via Firecrawl, and proposes replacing human visual assessment with LLM-powered recommendations for paddock movement. Targeted at AI engineers and sustainable agriculture practitioners interested in real-world agent deployments.
