Understanding the Difference Between Risk and Non-Risk Not Knowing

The main takeaway from this podcast episode is the importance of recognizing the difference between risk and non-risk not knowing. In truly risky situations, we have knowledge of all the possible outcomes, actions, and their probabilities. However, many of the problems in agriculture and the world at large fall into the category of non-risk not knowing, where we don't have comprehensive knowledge of the outcomes, actions, and probabilities. Understanding this distinction is crucial because traditional risk-based decision-making approaches are not suitable for non-risk situations. Adapting to non-risk not knowing requires being comfortable with uncertainties and having the capacity to make reasonable and sensible decisions without precise knowledge of all the variables.
