The Evergrowing Awareness of Louise Fresco

The AgVocate

In this episode we hear from Louise Fresco, Executive Board President of Wageningen University & Research and trailblazer for feeding a hungry planet.

But the ambition behind these achievements has never been for prestige or money.

In her words, it is a lifelong search for awareness.
