Description

In this episode of the Global Fresh Series, we begin with the curious and captivating story of French artist Agnès Varda, who transformed humble potatoes into symbols of beauty and individuality through her groundbreaking exhibit Patatutopia. From there, we shift from art to agriculture with a conversation just as colorful and insightful.

Joining us is CarrieAnn Arias, President and CEO of USA Pears, a visionary leader with over 25 years of experience in global brand building. CarrieAnn shares her perspective on the state of the pear industry after a challenging season, consumer trends driving growth, and how health and wellness movements are reshaping demand.
