North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Agriculture Announced

Farm and Food Care Foundation and Centre for Food Integrity Team Up

By , Farms.com

What does sustainable animal agriculture mean? Farm and Food Care and the Centre for Food Integrity announced that they will host the first of its kind - North American Sustainable Agriculture Forum. The form will be held September 17 and 18 2012 at the Delta Meadowvale in Mississauga, Ontario.  The registration fee is only $150.00 per person. The forum will be a unique opportunity to bring leaders interested in sustainable agriculture from both Canada and the U.S. One of the key objectives that organizers are hoping to achieve is a definition of sustainable agriculture as a tool to help communicate more effectively while building the confidence of the consumer.

“It will be a unique opportunity for farmers to talk with processors, retailers, food service researchers and government, all actively engaged in providing safe, affordable and sustainable food for consumers” says Crystal Mackay, Executive Director of the Farm & Food Care Foundation.

Breaks are hard to come by in harvest. That’s why we took the MtoM podcasting equipment to the field to visit on the issues of the day with April Hemmes of Hampton, Iowa. She filled us in on her thoughts on trade negotiations, inputs costs and machinery prices. Then she turned the tables and put Paul behind the steering wheel and started asking her own questions.
