"IFAMA is uniquely positioned to serve agribusiness because we stand at the nexus of education, industry and the future - our student stakeholders."

Simons brings to IFAMA extensive agribusiness experience and industry know-how. As the president and CEO of Novus International, Simons pursues the company's vision to feed the world affordable, wholesome food. Simons does this by creating an environment friendly to developing market-specific solutions based on the company's core technologies.
