Animal agriculture has long been a responsible steward of the environment. The industry took the lead in the development of technologies and innovations that have focused on environmental impact well before energy became more expensive and environmental concerns hit the headlines.
As the American consumer places more demands
on all industries to demonstrate environmental
responsibility, the requirements for animal agriculture
are constantly changing. These pressures extend
all the way from the farm to the table with retail
and food service customers becoming more demanding
on the industry to clearly show how it is responding
to these pressures.
A coalition of stakeholders in animal agriculture has put together a blue ribbon summit to be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA on January 27-28, 2009. Leading experts from within the industry and representatives from the retail and food service industries will meet to identify and discuss the challenges for the future as they relate to sustainability and protecting the environment. Such strategies will offer new opportunities for product development and market development.
