Episode Details

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the launch of the Center for American Food Power by Idealyst Innovation. This new strategic think tank aims to strengthen United States agriculture by aligning it with national security priorities. The initiative comes at a crucial time as structural shifts in production, trade, labor, technology, and geopolitics are reshaping the agrifood system. Brett Sciotto, founder of the Center and Chief Executive Officer of Idealyst Innovation, emphasizes the need for a future-focused strategy that integrates agrifood policy, market realities, and national security objectives to maintain American leadership in agriculture.

The Center for American Food Power will serve as a nonpartisan platform for strategic analysis, cross-sector coordination, and policy framework development. It aims to position United States agriculture for long-term resilience and competitiveness. The Center has formed the American Food Power Council, which includes senior leaders from various sectors such as agriculture, policy, and business. The Council's goal is to ensure broad representation and perspective to address the evolving challenges in the agrifood industry.
