First North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Comes to Ontario

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

The first ever North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Agriculture has announced its program highlights and key speakers. The forum is being put on my two prominent agricultural advocacy groups -Farm & Food Care Foundation and the Center for Food Integrity.

The forum will provide a venue to engage in a worthwhile discussion on defining what sustainable animal agriculture means along with an opportunity to network with industry leaders. It will take place Sept. 17-18 at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel in Mississauga, Ontario.

The following are the program highlights:

•What does the public think about food and farming? Attendees will be the first to hear the findings of a recently completed consumer attitudes study on food and farming in Canada.
•What role does science play in sustainable food?
•Managing issues and shifting to meet market demands – from the farm through to the grocery store
