Farmers for Sustainable Food

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today, we celebrate the amazing women who are shaping the future of agriculture. From managing farms to innovating sustainable practices, women are making a difference in the industry. Here’s to the strong, resilient women in the agriculture community.

We're proud to partner with AgSource as we collaborate with our farmers to build their confidence in making data-driven sustainability decisions. AgSource’s commitment to providing actionable insights to producers aligns with our shared vision of a sustainable future for agriculture. AgSource is helping empower farmers and together, we’re driving innovation and creating practical solutions for a better tomorrow.

We’re proud to partner with Syngenta as they work toward their ambitious sustainability priorities. Their commitment to helping growers achieve higher yields with lower environmental impacts, regenerating soil, and reducing emissions aligns perfectly with our mission to build a more sustainable food system. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, we’re creating valuable spaces for farmers to share insights, build sustainable practices, and thrive together.
