Rabobank was a proud sponsor of this year's Women in Agribusiness Summit. The event brought together over 1,000 attendees for exceptional networking and expert insights on the challenges and opportunities shaping agribusiness. As part of an inspiring executive profile session, North America Chief Sustainability Officer Terryn Lawrence shared her story and perspectives on navigating a successful career in agriculture.

The global grains and oilseeds research team, led by Global Strategist Stephen Nicholson, recently traveled to the heart of the U.S. corn belt—visiting Iowa, Illinois and Missouri 🌽 They explored how national policies shape the U.S. farming financial industry. The team also met with farmers specializing in corn and soy, who mixed their enterprises with cattle, feedlots and pork production. A key takeaway was that producers in the region are looking to boost revenue by leveraging certified non-deforested soy trade with the EU and low-emissions grains for sustainable aviation fuel. The group was impressed by the Mississippi River barges and locks that provide a significant logistical advantage, ensuring cost-effective grain delivery to seaports around the globe. #GrainsTour #SustainableFarming #AgricultureInsights Andrick Payen Eric Gibson Vítor Caçula Pistóia Owen Wagner Lief Chiang, CFA Marcela Fernandez Marini Vito Martielli Al Griffin
