A summary of the longer interview with Armin Steuernagel, entrepreneur in food, co-founder of the Purpose Network and impact investor. The Purpose Network helps companies to stay independent and mission driven for the long term. They believe that by innovating the way companies are owned, financed and governed, companies become more successful in the long run and can benefit all of society. Steward-owned companies make a legally binding commitment to their employees and customers: that the company is not a speculative good or commodity but a group of people working for a purpose.

If Armin could change one thing in the food and agriculture space he would change land can only be by people in trust, by stewards and doesn’t become a speculative commodity. Plus designing ownership structures for food and agriculture to make this easier.
