"Buckle Up!" Wild Ride Ahead for the U.S. Food System
UK Professor David Hughes Bring Unparalleled Knowledge of Global Food Issues to Ohio Ag Council Spring Meeting
The global population is set to increase by two billion over the next 25 years. Diets in emerging countries are changing - more proteins, less staples - and that is good news for American exporters. But, in the United States, agriculture is under the gun, with consumers increasingly asking provocative questions about how food is produced and by whom. Calls for transparency and the changing food purchasing habits of the millennial generation have forever altered the dynamics of today's food system.
With his unmatched brand of entertainment and humor, Professor David Hughes will explore with the audience wide ranging industry and consumer issues about agriculture and food and look at their implications for consumers, food producers and farmers. Click here to watch Professor Hughes speak.
