The Farm and Food Care Foundation is partnering with its American counterpart, the Center for Food Integrity, to host the North American Forum on Sustainable Animal Agriculture.
The forum will convene a group of influential food system leaders from across the continent, all actively involved in providing safe, affordable and sustainable food to consumers.
The goal is to assemble leaders in the food system to discuss what sustainable animal agriculture is.
The forum is a follow up for Canadians from the Feeding a Hungry World Summit held in Ottawa in October, 2011.
The Centre for Food Integrity has hosted several forums and summits in the past few years, for a primarily American audience.
This event will be unique, bringing food system leaders together from both sides of the border.
Crystal Mackay, executive director of the Farm and Food Care Foundation, said that the forum will offer a unique opportunity for all sectors of the food industry to work on issues together.
The forum will be held Sept. 17 to 18 at the Delta Meadowvale Hotel in Mississauga.
Registration is $150 (US dollars) per attendee. Register online by visiting: www.regonline.com/naanimalagforum.
