en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sam Kieffer, CEO of the National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG), recently joined the Food Power Commission of the Center for Agri-Food Power (CAFP), a nonpartisan think tank established earlier this year. CAFP aims to advance a domestic agri-food strategy aligned with national security priorities, backed by leaders in agriculture and policy.
As the leader of NAWG, Kiefer represents the interests of wheat growers in Washington and works with wheat organizations in 20 states. Kiefer stated: "Nearly everyone agrees that food security is national security. Geopolitical alliances, trade loyalties, and the technologies used in agriculture, defense, and commerce have all undergone significant changes. I am honored to join this team of strategic thinkers to tackle complex challenges and work toward building a stronger, more resilient U.S. food system."
CAFP was co-founded by Bret Choto, Ray Starling (General Counsel of the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce and former White House policy advisor), and Greg Sommerhalder (Partner at Idealyst Innovation and former agricultural credit executive). The center is an initiative of Idealyst Innovation, an agri-food innovation and strategy company based in Columbus, Ohio. CAFP provides a nonpartisan platform for strategic analysis, cross-sector coordination, and policy framework development to enhance the long-term resilience, competitiveness, and geopolitical relevance of U.S. agriculture.
Choto commented: "Sam's extensive policy experience, military service, and visionary leadership make him an excellent fit for the Food Power Commission and the important work ahead. We are delighted to welcome him and look forward to his perspectives and insights significantly contributing to the development of our national agri-food strategy."
