SPEAKER 01 :
We've got students who are very interested in politics and law. Well, most of our corporate partners and corporations within the industry need lawyers and policymakers to work on those different pieces. And so it's really trying to find students and meet them where they're at and then show them the opportunities that are available through law. the agricultural field, and then give them real life experiences.

SPEAKER 01 :
It's really starting to understand where are students that are in this Generation Z that are coming through and how do we align some of our programs, our marketing, our communication tactics that really align with the values of young people today. They're very purpose-driven. So being able to lead with this is how you will make an impact in the world and make a change we have found has been very beneficial. That's Farm to Fork.
