In short: Farming is the backbone of our food supply, yet rural producers face a widening digital divide. Beth Ford explores how universal broadband and climate-focused innovations are essential for making modern agriculture both sustainable and profitable.
In this conversation with Corey Hajim, Land O'Lakes CEO Beth Ford addresses the dual pressures of climate volatility and limited technological access facing rural communities. She argues that establishing broadband as a basic right is a fundamental step toward agricultural resilience.
