Event Description

U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) invites you to an important discussion with farmers, ranchers, agribusiness leaders and the entertainment industry about today's polarized debate marked by fear, distrust and confusion: the controversy surrounding GMOs and our food.

Hear from an esteemed panel of experts about the tools and technologies used in agriculture, which will help inform important decisions on The Hill impacting rural America, including the 2018 Farm Bill. The panelists will discuss ways that agriculture can continually improve in the areas of animal welfare, crop technology and sustainability and ideate ways to inform consumers about how we grow and raise food.

Also, join USFRA for a SMART Farm reception including 360-degree videos showcasing a modern pig farm. In addition, the program includes a showing of the Food Evolution documentary.
