As Chair of the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF), Constance Cullman leads the global feed sector’s engagement on sustainability, food security, animal health, and the industry’s Road to 2050 vision. Representing feed associations and companies worldwide, IFIF works with international organizations, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and Codex Alimentarius, to advance safe, sustainable, and science-based feed and food systems. Through its Road to 2050 initiative, IFIF is helping define the feed sector’s role in supporting resilient food systems, environmental stewardship, and sustainable animal agriculture.
Cullman is also President and CEO of the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), the largest organization dedicated exclusively to representing the business, legislative, and regulatory interests of the U.S. animal food industry, and President of the Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER), AFIA’s public charity.
A recognized leader in agriculture and food systems, Cullman works at the intersection of animal nutrition, sustainability, international trade, and public policy, advocating for science-based solutions that strengthen global food security and responsible production. She also serves on the board of the Global Feed LCA Institute, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee, and the Nationwide Insurance Board Council.
Prior to joining AFIA, Cullman held senior leadership positions with Farm Foundation, Dow AgroSciences, the Corn Refiners Association, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, building extensive expertise in agricultural policy, international markets, and regulatory affairs.
Cullman holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in agricultural economics from The Ohio State University. Raised on her family’s cow-calf farm in Marysville, Ohio, she brings a lifelong connection to agriculture and a global perspective on the future of feed, food, and sustainable animal production.
