Culture Talks: From Farm to Future – How Robots Are Revolutionizing Agriculture With Kenny Lee

You can follow Culture Talks on Apple Podcasts as well as Spotify, and subscribe to our YouTube Channel for full episodes, clips, and more. 

In this thought-provoking episode of Culture Talks, I sit down with Kenny Lee, co-founder and CEO of Aigen, an AI-driven robotic agriculture company on a mission to regenerate the earth. What begins as a conversation about cutting-edge agtech unfolds into a deeper exploration of entrepreneurship, core values, and the human connection to farming.

From Personal Passion to Planetary Impact

Kenny’s journey is rooted in his family’s farming heritage and a personal health crisis that led him to organic agriculture. He shares how these experiences inspired Aigen’s innovative robotics—designed to help farmers break free from chemical dependency and adopt sustainable practices.

Key Highlights from the Episode:

Tech Meets Tradition – How Aigen’s robots address real farmer challenges while aligning with nature.
Entrepreneurship with Purpose – Kenny’s approach to building a mission-driven company.
Core Values in Action – Why Aigen prioritizes simplicity, fun, and values alignment in hiring and culture.
Legacy & Society – Kenny’s reflections on succession planning, bridging societal divides, and empowering the next generation of farmers.
