What would farmers say if they had a chance to talk directly to food company executives? Quite a bit, as it turns out. Farmers sell through a value chain and often don't get to talk with those who market their crops to consumers as end products. This video includes Global Farmer Network members from around the world---Ruramiso Mashumba-Zimbabwe, Jennie Schmidt-United States, New Zealand, Alana Koch-Canada, Maria Giraudo Gaviglio-Argentina, and Gabriel Carballal-Uruguay---sharing their farming practices, and encouraging a dialogue between those who grow food and those who market it.
These five GFN farmers were part of a video presentation shown during a Food Executive Summit titled Accelerate Ambition: New paths to success in a changing food system. The virtual meeting was offered by Corteva and Eat Well Global.
