ORLANDO, Fla. (RFD-TV) — At last week’s Women in Agribusiness Summit in Orlando, global leaders gathered to explore the future of agriculture, emphasizing innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration.

Sergio Bortolozzo, President of the Brazilian Rural Society, spoke with FarmHER + RanchHER host Kirbe Schnoor about the importance of international collaboration and of cross-border dialogue in addressing global supply chain challenges, fostering trade relationships, and strengthening partnerships among producers worldwide.

Bortolozzo noted that bringing diverse viewpoints to the table fosters more creative solutions to shared challenges, from food security to climate-smart production. He also praised the conference for its focus on empowering women leaders in the agribusiness sector, stressing that inclusive leadership is essential for a resilient global food system.
