Robynne Anderson
Emerging ag inc
President
As a global thought leader on food and agriculture, with expertise in issues management and strategic development across the entire value chain, Robynne advises a broad range of clients from government leaders to business captains, farmers, food processors and researchers through her company Emerging ag. She often represents organizations at the United Nations, bringing the voice of agriculture, food and health in intergovernmental processes. Her savviness at international diplomacy brought topical issues to global prominence, such as the role of women in agriculture, governance of land tenure, responsible agricultural investments, importance of tackling food waste, and the urgency for global sustainability.
Prior to founding Emerging ag Inc, she established and ran for almost 20 years Issues Ink, a leading publishing company specializing in agriculture. She is also involved in her family farm in Dugald, Manitoba, Canada and is a founder of the Manyinga school project that supports orphans to learn agricultural skills through schools which in 2021 became Farmers Abroad Canada, a not-for-profit charitable organization focused on supporting agricultural education in African countries.
In 2017, Robynne became the youngest person inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, one of the only 11 women in the Hall. She serves on a number of international boards and received the 2018 Demeter Award for Women in Agriculture.
