Food Insecurity, The Food and Agriculture Org, & Favorite Concerts

“There are about 258 million people in over 50 countries in the world who are at crisis level of hunger. …Two thirds of those people are farmers themselves.” What is the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and why does it exist? To answer that, two very special guests are joining us for today’s episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. Harold Cooper joins hosts Ryan Priest and Sal Sama in the podcast room, and Beth Bechdol joins us virtually all the way from Rome, Italy. If you’ve tuned in for a while, you may recall that Harold is the CEO of Premier Companies, and Beth is the Deputy Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

You’ll hear from Harold regarding some of Beth’s successes in the agriculture industry within the state of Indiana and the United States, and Beth will explain what the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is, and some of what her role involves. You’ll also hear about why the organization was founded and how the FAO works to eliminate hunger and food insecurity across the globe. “There’s something that connects us as a part of agriculture, and I think that really is something that, on a human level, really needs to be prioritized and something that we don’t lose sight of.”

Glenn is back! Glenn Longabaugh is our resident agronomist at Premier Companies, and he joins hosts Sal Sama and Ryan Priest in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies to discuss all things agronomy.

You’ll also learn about how our treatment of southern rust has helped farmers in Southern Indiana mitigate the spread of tar spot. He’ll dig into how the recommendations of treatment have changed over the course of time as we learn more about pathogens and how they mature and spread.
