Social Impact Heroes Helping Our Planet: Why and How Christopher Beth and The Bucket Ministry Is Helping To Change Our World
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit. Can you tell us a bit about how you grew up?
I grew up in a suburb on the northwest side of Chicago. Now looking back on this time, I feel I lived a very ordinary life with parents who deeply cared for me (in their own ways) but who had many of the same struggles I have experienced with my own family. I was an “only child” with a tendency to be introverted, which makes my life and career now even more surprising.

As a serial entrepreneur with a deep passion for leveraging technology to solve real-world challenges, I have dedicated my career to driving innovation and sustainable solutions across industries. As the founder of FarmdOut, I focus on transforming agriculture through location intelligence and geospatial data, tackling key issues like farmer sustainability, agricultural ecology, and fostering the next generation of farmers, cultivators and growers. My work centers on creating long-term, scalable impact, building a platform that empowers communities and stakeholders to optimize their operations and embrace forward-thinking practices.
Throughout my career, I’ve cultivated a strategic mindset, bringing together technology, business development, and leadership to shape initiatives that address complex challenges. I am driven by a vision of sustainability, collaboration, and innovation, constantly seeking ways to build resilient systems and inspire growth.
