iStock: Ekkasit919 At the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit, leaders from Land O’Lakes, The Nature Conservancy, Cargill, and General Mills discuss how their business models and partnerships drive sustainability forward. One resounding message is the need for “radical collaboration” across the industry, to move the needle forward for the farmer and environment. The panelists include: Teddy Bekele, chief technology officer at Land O’Lakes Jennifer Morris, chief executive officer of The Nature Conservancy Ruth Kimmelshue, head of business operations supply chain and chief sustainability officer at Cargill John Church, chief supply chain officer at General Mills “The farmer is the original environmentalist,” says Bekele. “Farmers want to do right by the land from one generation to the next, but at the same time, by augmenting their profit and loss, there is further incentive to put soil health practices into place.”

In the far west of Brazil’s Bahia state, sprawling soybean plantations extend from the edges of the highways right up to the horizon. The region is considered Brazil’s new grain frontier, its roads bustling with trucks hauling agrochemicals, cattle, and tons of soybeans. The 2019-2020 harvest was the second best in the history of Bahia: more than 6 million tons of soybeans were produced in the state. That kind of output has attracted major companies such as SLC Agrícola, one of the largest grain producers in Brazil.
