Understanding Sustainability – New Realities for Production Agriculture

Today’s food consumers are more interested in the source of their food. They read about food, discuss food with their peers and consider every ingredient before they make a purchase. They want to be assured that the food they are buying and feeding to their children is safe, nutritious, fresh and sustainably sourced.

Marty Wolske, Director of Business Development at New Leader, will conduct a focused discussion on how this new reality is causing major disruption in the food supply chain and how the largest food, retail and ag companies in the world are responding.

Cost: $40 NAMA Members and $50 Non-members

Date: Thursday, November 8, 2018
