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 storeThe full agenda of the event can be accessed at www.farmcarefoundation.ca/events
