SUMMARY:Feeding a Hungry World: A Summit for Animal Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Summit registration form (PDF)\nFull Summit Program\nWhy w
 e urgently need to focus on animal agriculture?\nConventional agricult
 ure, especially animal agriculture, is in danger of losing its social 
 contract – the public support needed to profitably serve society thr
 ough food production.\nMany children don’t know that ham is a pork p
 roduct. Most families are at least one generation removed from farm ro
 ots.  They are losing appreciation of the importance of conventional 
 agriculture in their lives. They take affordable food for granted, and
  increasingly don’t support agriculture-friendly public policies.\nW
 e need to urgently rebuild agriculture’s social contract with Canadi
 ans. Our industry must meaningfully address such issues as sustainabil
 ity, animal welfare, and food safety. The public’s support for conve
 ntional agriculture is critical if the industry is to remain sound and
  capable of meeting the world’s food needs in the twenty-first centu
 ry and beyond.\nObjectives of the summit:\n\nTo provide a unique oppor
 tunity for leaders in the agri-food sector to collectively discuss the
  future for animal agriculture in Canada, within a global context.\nTo
  increase awareness of the role of animal agriculture in many areas, w
 ith a goal to “make it a priority” in Canada.\nTo discuss and deve
 lop communication strategies and options for members of Canada’s agr
 i-food sector to proactively and effectively work together on a “soc
 ial contract”.\nTo develop a follow up plan for ongoing action and d
 iscussion with options for attendees to implement after the session.\n

 food with fewer resources under increasing public scrutiny?\nAgri-food
  industry leaders from across Canada have been inspired to come togeth
 er to coordinate the first Feeding a Hungry World: A Summit for Animal
  Agriculture at the Delta Ottawa Centre this October. The Summit will 
 be a unique opportunity to start the conversation and help shape the d
 irection animal agriculture needs to work towards for a sustainable fu
 ture.\nThe Summit goals include discussing key industry issues, develo
 ping a strategy for a strong social contract and agreeing on an action
  plan to increase animal agriculture’s profile. The Farm Care Founda
 tion, a new charity working to enhance public trust and confidence in 
 Canadian food and farming, is hosting the Summit.\n\nDownload the Summ
