Today we’re taking a broader look at agriculture — how what happens on farms here at home connects to markets, policies, and decisions being made around the world — with one of the most respected voices in global commodity markets and agricultural strategy
My guest today is Emily French, CEO of Global Ag Protein. Emily grew up on a farm in Idaho, giving her a front-row seat to the realities of ag production — something that still shapes her perspective today, even as she advises Fortune 500 companies, producers, and policymakers around the world.
In this episode, Emily shares her incredible journey from the fields to the forefront of international trade. We talk about the fear of failure and the courage it takes to lead, the importance of authenticity in business and in life, and the evolving role of women in shaping agriculture’s future. She also sheds light on how global trade policy impacts everyday farmers—and why relationships and trust still matter more than ever in this business.
Emily’s insight is unmatched, but what I love most is her humility, her humor, and her belief in the power of community.
Let’s get dirty with Emily.
