Michele Payn, CSP, cuts through the noise around food, farming, and the people who feed us. As principal of Cause Matters Corp., she's spent 25 years empowering voices from farm to food - authoring four award-winning books, working across six continents, and raising millions for 4-H and FFA. One of only 900 people worldwide to hold the Certified Speaking Professional designation, Michele also has degrees in Agricultural Communications & Animal Science from Michigan State University. When she's not speaking for agriculture and food audiences, she's on her Indiana farm with registered Holsteins, wildflowers, and her city-slicker husband.
Fear is winning the food conversation. Agricultural voices are being drowned out. Sustainability has become a marketing word. And farmer mental health remains agriculture's best-kept secret – until now. Michele's resource pages provide tools for overcoming food myths, strengthening agricultural advocacy, building an understanding of stewardship, and protecting farmer well-being.
