![]() ![]() She was raised on a diversified family farm on the Iowa/Missouri border where she is still involved with her parents and siblings in crop / livestock production and elite genetics. Klingner is committed to sustainable rural economic development and job creation with a special focus in production agriculture and innovative processing technologies, which includes working through local policies necessary to advance global cooperation. and the Midwestern United States with frequent travels to manage teams throughout India, East Africa, Latin America and parts of the Middle East, and Europe. Klingner spends the majority of her time connecting domestic and foreign markets and anchors herself between mainland China, Washington D.C. Not a small, fast, nor easy call to action, but our founders were driven to this calling! There is a way to accomplish this and it will take the initiatives of companies such as Palindromes willing to put forth alternative methods. ![]() Our founders understand that in the short-run this position may not be received well among some leadership within the agricultural community, but it is because of our extensive market experience that we are committed to a transitional and corrective plan to ensure that there is value and trust behind products that are Made in the USA, that we have future diversified market access that will pay our farmers for the value of what they are producing, and that the type of innovation we bring forth to the market is regarded as opposed to resisted. Our founders knew that talking about it was not enough and so they put forth a corrective operational plan that is working and will continue to demonstrate a different way that is scalable, replicable, and sustainable. This is just simply unacceptable and in our opinion contrary to the values of America as our food policies and standards should be “by the people for the people” and it is time that returns. We are slowly deteriorating the trust within our own domestic food system, minimizing the value of Made in the USA, and leaving our domestic consumers with the meats and grains that to not meet more stringent international export standards or international market preferences. Eating the right combination of foods that are free from known carcinogens and foreign substances that are bodies cannot properly digest cannot be a right reserved for those who can afford it nor can we alter the definitions of words, manipulate food claims and labels that are knowingly deceiving consumers, and fail to disclose material facts. One of the most powerful lessons our founders learned from the East and Europe is the daily importance of taking a more holistic and preventative approach to health and understanding the relationship with food and how that fuels and sustains the function of life. By bringing together forward thinkers and doers throughout each stage of the food supply chain and throughout each corner of the globe, together we can change our relationship with food production and consumption that will improve the quality of life and rewrite the narratives on how we feed the world the right way and achieve what current industry leaders view as the impossible, together! Palindromes understands it will take commitment, compassion, resilience and meaningful long-term collaborative relationships that desire mutually beneficial change. Transitioning our current global food system will not happen overnight. Our leadership spent years conducting global market intelligence and working through how to improve access and quality of our most basic human needs, and as such possesses the knowledge and experience from deep within the trenches. However, because we measure milestone successes on more than bottom-line quarterly GDP, do not answer to expensive investment funders, and do not have an exit strategy built around a high-dollar buyout, Palindromes is able to power through challenges and respond to the unexpected in a manner that stays true to a long-term corrective plan as failure is not an option as it relates to the most important and basic needs that sustains life. Influencing change and bringing forth a different approach to heavy problems is not easy, especially when you are stepping into an arena of powerful companies that control big data, big ag and big pharma as well as heavily influence our government leaders, and as such, Palindromes is prepared for a journey that may not always go according to plan and ridden in daily challenges. Because we view business as personal, Palindromes does not make decisions contrary to what we deem as best for our own families, loved ones and future generations our collaborative partnerships have depth and our relationships are real. ![]()
