This time I had the great pleasure to interview Eric Jackson, the CEO and founder of Pipeline Foods. After a career in conventional chemical agriculture and software could retire but decided to build the missing piece in organic broad acre row crops (grain and soy).

He was triggered by a fascinating statistic: the US is a grain, corn and soy powerhouse but imports 75% of its organic demand. Why? There isn’t enough organic farmland in the US, so Eric started on a journey which led 18 months ago to the founding of Pipeline Foods, to build the infrastructure needed to get organic grain, corn and soy from the farmer to the food processor. Thus giving the farmers certainty and getting more farmers through the difficult transition process.

Why are they focussing on broad acre crops and not livestock, or produce? Because of the scale that they can bring. Broad acre crops cover many many millions of acres and when you can bring them under organic and hopefully soon organic plus/beyond organic managem
