Agri-Pulse Open Mic: Melissa Ackerman - Planet Harvest
Update: 2025-11-30
Description
This week's Open Mic guest is Melissa Ackerman, CEO and Co-Founder of Planet Harvest. During the Covid pandemic, Ackerman worked with the Produce Alliance to provide channels for unharvested produce to those in need. Her work with the Farmers to Families Food Box Program led to a relationship with Ivanka Trump and the birth of Planet Harvest with a mission of incorporating sustainably sourced produce into the supply chain. Ackerman says almost a third of produce remains unharvested each year, meaning billions of dollars of losses for farmers and billions of pounds of food that could help feed hungry people.
