In this episode, we explore the cutting-edge of agricultural innovation with Robert Yaman, CEO of Innovate Animal Ag. A veteran of the tech industry, Robert is focused on in-ovo sexing technology, which addresses the significant issue of male chick culling in the egg industry. By determining the sex of a chick before it hatches, this technology promotes both animal welfare and sustainability.
Robert explains how he applies a ‘techno-optimist’ philosophy to agricultural innovation, showcasing how technology can solve some of the industry’s most pressing problems. While in-ovo sexing has seen widespread adoption in Europe, thanks to legal incentives, it is now beginning to gain momentum in the U.S., particularly in the specialty egg market.
Robert and Greg also dive into the challenges and opportunities of bringing such advancements to the U.S. market, as well as the broader potential for technological innovation in agriculture. Robert and his team at Innovate Animal Ag are leading the charge by spreading awareness and promoting adoption of technologies that align with both animal health and the future of sustainable farming.
