It’s been nearly two years since ADM launched Faces of Food, an ongoing series of authentic stories featuring and celebrating the voices of producers from across the country.

Since August 2022, each Faces of Food episode has featured a different farm family, their unique operation, and the steps they’ve taken to sustain and improve it over the years.

The films also highlight the important role the surrounding community and partners play in their operation’s growth, innovation, and success.

Season 1 focuses on how three different operations embraced their own unique challenges. While mother nature, fate, or geography may make life difficult, the producers in Season 1 reveal how family, community, and perseverance helped them address the challenges that come with feeding the world.

The stories of Season 2 highlight the business of farming. We travel to central Illinois to talk to producers who rely on innovation and teamwork to address an array of challenges they face in trying to preserve their legacies.

And as we prepare for the launch of Season 3, we take a look back to highlight some of the unmissable moments producers have been generous enough to share with us in the hopes their stories can inspire others.
