In his keynote address at the recent Food Tank Summit in Chicago, Cargill CEO David MacLennan made the case for “courageous conversations.” Although it may be hard sometimes for unlikely allies to come together and truly hear each other, working together ultimately leads to a stronger, more sustainable food system for all.

"We need everybody's help at this time," said MacLennan. "We're at an important crossroads in food production, in our culture and in our political system. And dialogue really, really matters."
