Host Frances Hayes, DWFI director of communications and public relations, shares a story that perfectly illustrates the lasting impact of those face-to-face moments, which can lead to unexpected and valuable partnerships.   Adam Keough, program manager with Catholic Relief Services and Treaven Scheideler, a University of Nebraska student, discuss their cross-cultural collaboration, sparked by a chance meeting at a tractor museum during the 2023 Water for Food Global Conference. Adam's team in El Salvador needed hands-on training with mechanized equipment and Treaven, drawing on his own farming experience in Nebraska, provided assistance while taking advantage of a formative learning experience.   View photos from Treaven's visit to El Salvador \u00bb https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/raiceselsalvador\/albums\/72177720315528127\/   ","author_name":"Daugherty Water for Food Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/waterforfood.nebraska.edu","html":"
