The Animal Agriculture Alliance knows more than any other organization about the threats facing the entire meat and poultry sector, and is doing a phenomenal job of speaking up for the entire industry and setting the record straight.
I support Animal Ag Alliance because I believe information about animal agriculture should be factual and based on science. The Animal Ag Alliance helps American farmers in the fight against misinformation that drives agendas based on false narratives.
The Animal Agriculture Alliance is a phenomenal organization made up of smart, savvy staff who work hard to advance the practices and values of the animal agriculture community. The dairy industry is proud to support its passionate work in protecting and promoting the work of those who help feed our nation with nutritious, sustainably produced foods.
I was appointed to serve on the board of the Animal Ag Alliance. I didn’t know much about them, but after attending my first meeting, it didn’t take me long to realize how important they were to my industry. They connect, engage and protect our customers through education, media contacts and industry relationships from all the misinformation that certain activist groups put out. If you eat meat protein or use dairy products you need to support the Alliance!
The Animal Ag Alliance has its fingers on the pulse of animal rights activist activities and other key issues impacting the industry including environmental impact and nutrition. The Meat Institute is a proud supporter of this work to keep the industry ahead of the trends impacting its businesses.
The Animal Ag Alliance provides a forum for agriculture to have consistent and effective messaging that ensures a promising future for animal agriculture. It is vital to participate in this outlet that allows for information sharing and open dialogue amongst members to share and learn from one another.
The American Feed Industry Association has been a partner of the Animal Agriculture Alliance since 1987. The work that the Alliance team does to engage influencers, the media and the overall food community is second to none. We rely on the Alliance to connect all of animal agriculture, engage key influencers and protect farmers’ and ranchers’ abilities to continue providing nutritious options for my family and yours.
The Animal Ag Alliance is the unifying voice that protects our mission of feeding nutritious food to the world, while providing the best care available to our animals and our people. USPOULTRY is a proud supporter and partner and its team has been instrumental in telling our story to our partners, universities, our customers, and the community at-large.
NPPC values our strong partnership with the Animal Agriculture Alliance as the Alliance provides invaluable educational opportunities, detailed membership correspondence and updates on activist activities that have the potential to harm our industry. Together, NPPC and the Alliance are better able to protect the livelihoods of America’s more than 60,000 pork producers.
“The topics are always current and fresh, and I enjoy meeting and networking with attendees from across all facets of agriculture. The information I take in is inspiring and allows me to do my job more effectively. I can’t understate the importance of attending this event – it’s completely worthwhile!”
