From our home base in Minnesota — a state with an unparalleled concentration of globally leading food and agriculture companies and research institutions — we work together across our membership to:
Accelerate solutions that address pressing challenges in food and agriculture and foster opportunities for stakeholders across the value chain
Catalyze innovation and entrepreneurship
Attract and retain the workforce of the future
Building soil health and reducing emissions are critical as we tackle climate change and make our food system more resilient. MBOLD is engaging farmers and ranchers to adopt soil health and water stewardship practices, build markets for alternative crops and manage the risk that farmers face when taking new approaches.
Flexible films are used throughout the food and agriculture sectors for food packaging, hay bales, pallet wrap and more, but only a fraction of it is recycled. MBOLD aims to change that by spearheading development of a circular economy for flexible packaging films in the Upper Midwest to cut waste and give these materials a second life.
Bold ideas from innovators and entrepreneurs will be essential as we navigate the critical challenges facing our food system now and into the future. MBOLD brings together the disruptive thinking of entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world with the reach and acumen of large global companies to take good ideas to scale.
As COVID-19 takes a historic toll on our economy and families’ ability to put food on their table, MBOLD is supporting solutions and partnerships to fight food insecurity. We’re using a data-driven approach to get ahead of food insecurity at the local level and spurring deeper public-private collaboration.
The future of food and agriculture depends on passionate people contributing their skills across the food system. To meet the challenges ahead, we need to work together and invite everyone to the table. MBOLD is connecting talent with opportunities to thrive in food and agriculture.
