Sustainability looks different on every farm when put into practice. It’s the story of continuous improvement using knowledge and climate-smart agriculture to increase harvests while using fewer resources and taking care of the land.

"I’ve been farming for years, but it’s my engineering background that helps me appreciate the growing role of technology in agriculture. We are changing the future of food with innovations farmers before us could have never imagined. These technologies do more than help us feed the world in ways that are more sustainable. They help me ensure that the farm my children will someday run will still be going strong."

"As a fifth-generation farmer, I am very proud to be one of the many U.S. soybean farmers employing sustainable farming practices. Thanks to the advancements in AgTech, we can continually elevate our stewardship of the land, while also serving as a big part of the solution to the global climate crisis."
