All of our attendees left energized and full of ideas, and we hope to spread that enthusiasm by sharing the top-quality presentations with a broader audience.”
Summit session topics included exploring opinions and preferences of consumers, how animal agriculture can provide solutions to restaurant/retail sector challenges, the 2016 election’s impact on agriculture, engaging with consumers and the media, changing the narrative around antibiotic use, the use of religion in the animal rights debate, using social media to share stories and more.
