Most capital invested in agriculture in the U.S. flows to large, commodity farms. For smaller operations that don’t fit the conventional mold, it can be difficult—if not impossible—to get a loan. Steward aims to change that by connecting online investors to small- and mid-size sustainable farms. In this episode, founder and CEO Dan Miller talks to host Lisa Held about how the company is serving farmers and funding the production of better, environmentally-friendly crops, from vegetables grown on an urban farm in Detroit to organic hemp grown in rural Southwest Oregon.
