Brett Podolsky joins The Modern Acre to talk about how he helped create the Farmer's Dog, a dog food company focused on using real, fresh food and delivering customized servings to their customers. Brett shares the vision behind the company and why using real food is so important to the brand. While the company is not directly involved in a agriculture at the farm level, there is SO much insight from building a direct-to-consumer business, cutting out middlemen, focus on high quality food, marketing, and more! Let us know what you think!

We had the opportunity to do live interviews with 3 speakers from the Forbes AgTech Summit in Salinas last week! We wanted to extract as much value from these guests in our short time, so we asked them these two questions:

1. What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the agriculture industry today?
2. What technology or idea do you find most compelling in agriculture right now?

The three guests cover a great range of topics and ideas:

Dan Harburg, Venture Associate at Anterra Capital

Kyle Bridgeforth, Partner and Accounts Manager at Bridgeforth Farms

Chris Laudando, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Motivo

We loved the chance to talk to Noushin Ketabi about starting Vega Coffee by focusing on empowering growers at the farm level in Nicaragua. What makes Vega unique is cutting out the middle men in the coffee supply chain. Noushin talks about the origins of Vega, scaling the business, optimizing the supply chain and logistics, and organic growth. If you're interested in companies that are narrowing the gap between the farm and the consumer, this episode is for you!
