Land O’Lakes President and CEO Chris Policinski commented on issues related to food security and the company’s commitment to international development for a video posted on the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition’s (USGLC) Web site.

In the video, Policinski described how businesses benefit from U.S. global engagement. He explained that international development and diplomacy help strengthen economies around the world, which “means new markets are available for American goods.”

Policinski said, “Feeding a hungry world is both an obligation and an opportunity,” and he stressed the significant role the International Affairs Budget plays in leading America forward in these efforts.
