Building trust in food begins with empowering farmers through one of the largest and most diverse conservation- and sustainability-focused public-private partnerships in our nation’s history: America’s Conservation Ag Movement.

Do you work in the produce industry? Perhaps you’re hands-on in the industry – a producer, agronomist or packhouse manager. Or, maybe, you’re a marketer, sustainability director or thought leader. If any of these and related roles begin to describe your place in the industry, consider how the upcoming, 2020 Sustainable Produce Summit can enrich, empower and equip your efforts today and in the future.

This exciting, free event – hosted by The Packer and Trust In Food in partnership with Apeel – is the inaugural opportunity for produce leaders to attend a unique and inspiring experience focused entirely on sustainability in the fresh food industry.

Prepare now for three days of live virtual networking events and education sessions that will provide the best in-depth information on the issues and challenges that matter to your business.

In addition, this event is designed to promote environmental stewardship and enhance the quality of life in our communities. Relevant topics in the following themes will be covered: environmental, social and consumer.

Here’s a sneak peek at the environmental agenda for Day 1. To see the agendas for Day 2 and Day 3 and to register, go here: https://www.sustainableproducesummit.com/agenda/
