08 | Dairy Farming on Three Continents with Young Leader Laurens Rutten

Meet the 28-year-old from Belgium who has embarked on a hands-on dairy farming journey around the globe.

Laurens Rutten challenged himself to dive into dairy on three continents, starting on a commercial grass-based dairy in New Zealand, then the world’s largest robotic dairy in Chile, and we catch up with him today on the third leg of his journey at Sunnyside Farms in New York. 

Laurens reveals the two critical questions he asked himself that spurred this adventure, and the lessons he is learning along the way, and leaves us with some solid takeaways on blazing your own trail, defining your future, and taking bold action.
