Kristin is a writer with over two decades experience telling the stories of food producers, Fortune 500 companies and start-ups at every stage of the seed to plate journey.

As Manager of Climate-Smart Content, she writes stories, curates resources and develops programming that spotlights best-in-class conservation agriculture practices and people across Trust In Food’s platforms. Finding new ways to encourage innovative farmers and ranchers and promote the resilience of the natural environment is what gets her up in the morning.
