β€œIf we want to be a business that's around for the next 50 years, it’s not going to happen if… poverty in supply chains continues to exist. So if we can use regenerative practices to have crop diversification, income diversification, more value for the crops that people are growing, higher yields for the crops that they're growing, less risk in the crops that they're growing…That's going to make people want to be farmers longer, which matters to our business and in long-term planning.” ”
