Tech Deciphers “Sustainability” From Farm to Fork
Description:
Knowing how your food is grown can be tough.
You can hardly be expected to visit every farm that contributes to each meal you eat. You probably don’t know what buffer strips do, where windbreaks are planted, or how conservation tillage works, but you care about the outcomes of those conservation practices.
Where should you turn for answers? How do you assess the quality of the information you’re receiving about your food?
As more people seek out food that was raised sustainably, food labels, packaging and marketing can raise more questions than they answer.
Hear from food experts, conservationists and farmers about new tech that translates the results of on-farm conservation into clear, accurate information you can use to assess the sustainability of your food.
