Adam Little

Dr. Adam Little is a veterinarian and entrepreneur whose passion is to work on creative solutions to addressing human and animal health issues. He has a BSc. from the University of Guelph and is a 2013 graduate of the Ontario Veterinary College. During his time at the College, he held a number of leadership positions including serving as class president. Within the companion animal space, Adam has founded multiple ventures at the nexus of technology and the human-animal bond. He now serves as Director of Innovation and Strategic Partnerships within LifeLearn and is working on how to utilize emerging sensor and monitoring technology to improve the health of pets.

His strong interests in community development, public health, food safety, and education are reflected, internationally, through his work with Veterinarians without Borders and the Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership and, domestically, through his experience in the Chief Veterinary Office of Canada within the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

This past summer, Adam completed the Graduate Studies Program at Singularity University. This institution, located in the heart of Silicon Valley at the NASA Ames Research Center, brings together 80 leaders to address global grand challenges through the use of exponential technologies. This transformational experience resulted in the creation of Lifestock, a start-up company committed to revolutionizing our current food production system through the use of in-vitro meat technologies.

In addition to his role at LifeLearn, Adam is a Fellow within the Hunger Solution Institute, based out of Auburn University, and is using his exposure to technology, education, development, and food security to shape the future of innovation in hunger.
