Jan. 2, 2018 Source: Farm Journal Media news release New to the upcoming Top Producer Seminar is the "Trust In Food Opening Keynote," which will kick off the annual gathering of more than 800 farmers, ranchers and growers from across the U.S. and Canada Jan. 24-26 in Chicago. Farm Journal has created the keynote to serve as the capstone to the inaugural Trust In Food™ Symposium, a co-located event happening Jan. 23 for 50 VIP farm operators and up to 200 executives from food companies, food retailers, restaurants, agribusinesses, NGOs, tech firms and government agencies. The presentation will be delivered by Townsend Bailey, Director of U.S. Supply Chain Sustainability for McDonald's Corporation. He will help farmers and other food chain participants understand how the restaurant company partners with consumers and the agriculture community. "The Trust In Food™ Symposium is the first important step in Farm Journal's decade-long initiative to rebuild consumer trust in the food system in cooperation with an array of stakeholders," said Charlene Finck, Chief Content Officer, Farm Journal Media. "Without question, this is not something Farm Journal can do on its own. "That's why we are so grateful to be featuring the voices of experts who can help advance conversations throughout the supply chain about the five key pillars of consumer trust in food: health and nutrition; safety and security; affordability; animal welfare; and conservation agriculture."
