John Mesko
For John Mesko, agriculture is the most exciting thing people
can do with the land.
" We create food for society, and there is nothing more noble
we can do with the environment, " Mesko said.
The building of sustainable systems is a key element to
ensuring farmers can continue to farm. With an understanding
of food and farming rooted in his background, Mesko has been
involved with sustainability for over 20 years, working with
supply chain partners to help farmers learn about, evaluate
and choose farming practices that make sense for their bottom
line. This mission is paramount in an era where potatoes are
becoming even more important to the global food supply.
When Mesko first started in the industry, there were some
challenges and tension surrounding the idea of climate
change and sustainability. But now, he sees that people are
not disagreeing with the fact that the climate has changed,
regardless of what they may blame.
" Everyone knows the climate is different from when I was a
kid, " Mesko said.
As the executive director of the Potato Sustainability Alliance,
Mesko and his team collect and report data and information
that help to tell the unique story of potato sustainability. He
speaks regularly about agricultural sustainability and is the host
of the Resource Positive Agriculture podcast. He can be reached
at mesko@potatosustainability.org.
