“The Big Shrink”
How can U.S. agriculture prepare for a world with fewer and older consumers? U.S. agriculture has historically operated under the goals of maximizing production and "Feeding the World.” Many top export nations, however, have reached peak population already and their consumers are getting older, both of which will alter their demand profile. Terrain analyzes the timeline to reach peak global population, the security of our export partners and potential strategies to prepare for this paradigm shift in the coming decades.

Flux: 8 Superpowers for Thriving in Constant Change
In a world where change and uncertainty are constant, adaptability and resilience are crucial but can be stretched to their limits. April Rinne introduces the concept of a Flux Mindset, which views change as a feature rather than a bug. By developing eight Flux Superpowers, individuals can transform their approach to leadership, success, and well-being, finding calm and meaning amidst chaos. This mindset helps people see change in new ways, craft innovative responses, and reshape their relationship with uncertainty, ensuring they remain grounded even when everything around them is shifting.
