SwineCast Update for October 28, 2011, Feeding The World Is High Tech
Submitted by John Blue on October 27, 2011 - 10:24pm.
There's a brief fall conference season which includes meetings in Chicago, North Carolina, Omaha and Kansas City. Various groups but some familiar faces at each. Such is the case in Chicago for the NIAA's Antibiotic Use In Animal Agriculture. Truffle Media and SwineCast.com will be on hand to bring you the presentations (if you couldn't attend) in early November.
The prior conference, Center for Food Integrity 'Food Systems Summit' is the venue of our most recent post. Dr. Jason Clay, WWF Senior Vice-President, offered his thoughts on meeting the needs of a growing population. A refreshing thought, to save nature and wildlife, people's needs must come first. Dr. Clay's comments were well received.

Thanks, again, for listening.
