“As we work to develop solutions to the challenge of global food security, it’s essential that we focus on results-driven development in both the public and private sectors,” Chris Policinski, president and CEO of Land O’Lakes, Inc., and chair of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition’s Business Advisory Council, writes on The Hill’s “Congress Blog.”

Policinski outlines why his company, “a farmer-owned cooperative,” is involved in international development and notes three major lessons learned from its work abroad. “Ultimately, investing in development isn’t just ‘doing good,’ it’s an economic and social imperative,” he writes (5/23).
