How do beliefs, values, and history frame the post-modern worldview? Dr. Robinson contrasts the beliefs and values of modernism and postmodernism, and illustrates their differences using examples from art, architecture, society, human health, and agriculture. He also discusses sustainable agriculture in relation to the post-modern worldview. The specific value propositions in postmodern agriculture are discussed and illustrated through grass-based agriculture and entrepreneurship.

John holds a BA in Biophysics from the Johns Hopkins University. He also received a MD and a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. Robinson is an Assistant Professor at South Dakota State University. His laboratory performs NIH-funded research on the pathophysiology of heart failure. He is also the Managing Partner at NuAgra, a company promoting the mutual interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
