Ep. 5 Growing a New Generation of Horticulturists with Dean and David Kopsell

Can horticulture innovation outpace climate change? As extreme weather events accelerate, we speak with horticulture experts and twin brothers, Drs. Dean Kopsell and David Kopsell, to discuss innovative solutions for sustainable farming. In this episode of Can I Get a Retake?, the Kopsells share how horticulture science is developing climate-resilient practices to manage pests, mitigate crop damage from severe storms, and cope with shifting weather patterns. Looking ahead, the brothers also explain how they generate student interest in horticulture careers and prepare the next generation to combat sustainability challenges using AI and other emerging technologies.
