I’ve spent my life working on audacious projects that might help save nature, mitigate climate change, and feed the world responsibly. But, every day I struggle with the question, “Are there reasons for hope?”. To answer this question, I have learned it is necessary to hold multiple conflicting beliefs rather than try to resolve them into one.

The miracle of each new generation is that it starts with a new baseline and with a new hope for a better future, even as older generations still cling to what has already been lost.
