Ep. 12 Bill Buckner: President & CEO of Noble Research Institute ||<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

On episode 12 of Sourcing Matters we welcome Bill Buckner, President and CEO of Noble Research institute.\u00a0 As\u00a0the largest independent private agricultural organization in the US, Noble has recently focused on bridging the worlds of conventional and Organic production through a commitment to land management and soil health that will provide solutions to the vast challenges facing Agriculture, and humanity as a whole.<\/p>\n

.<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 1945 in response to the dust bowl, the\u00a0core competencies of land stewardship and proper resource conservation to prevent future disaster is part of Noble’s linage.\u00a0 Earlier this year they’ve launched a market exchange for natural resources currently not even given a commodity value. It’s the hope of Buckner and his team of 400 at the Noble Research Institute that by adding a new cost basis to soil health, carbon and water – we’ll be able to decommoditized food and promote the differentiated values from elevated production models – while furthering commitment to regenerative natural resources.\u00a0 Collectively, that’s a competitive advantage for all domestic producers.\u00a0 Raising this minimum market threshold seems an essential next step in on-ramping more farmers to evolve production models often inherited with succession of a farm.\u00a0 As more consumers appreciate those values of the food sourced with\u00a0any and all\u00a0aspirational standards it’ll continue to become increasingly more mainstream in the marketplace.<\/p>\n

What I learned in our discussion was that Bill Buckner is a practitioner of change.\u00a0 Gracefully handling language that is often alienating and ostracizing for different sides of the fence, you must listen to our chat as he explains how it’s the farmers who’ll elevate the conversation and transcend much of the infighting that has put us in such polarized position.\u00a0 I think there are some lessons to be learned in our discussion by our brethren in DC. \u00a0For food and managing our resources – it’s the farmers and the consumers that will meet in the middle to balance a system that must become more\u00a0harmonious, and just.<\/p>\n
