DOUGLAS MALLETTE is a veteran of the U.S. Navy and is a former Systems Engineer with the U.S. Space Shuttle Program. When the space program ended Douglas combined his passion for smart technology, public policy, and his affinity for public speaking to deliver lectures, lessons, presentations & interviews on the subjects of space exploration; global sustainability; and the social, economic and political implications of advancing technologies on our global operating system.
Douglas also started Cybernated Farm Systems, a Design and Consulting firm for smart agro-tech solutions. This pursuit led him to become a delegate of the United Nations Committee on World Food Security, Private Sector Mechanism, at the UNFAO in Rome, which he has visited twice to participate in high-level discussions on global food security and sustainable agriculture policy. Most recently Douglas returned to school to get his Master’s degree in International Relations, graduating in 2018.
Douglas is passionate about the study and use of sustainable technologies to solve important global issues, especially as they pertain to policy development revolving around the UN SDGs as components for combating global insecurity and instability.
