The keynote speaker at the Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit is the author of the book Farmers Versus Foodies. “There seems to be two prevailing sides of the food system,” said Ray Starling. “The aggies and the consumers, there’s this growing chorus of folks that says the food system is broken and has major problems.” Starling says the agriculture industry needs to be watchful of negative influences on agriculture practices and policy. “I think the food system is doing great, but I’m concerned outside forces will try to ‘fix’ the food system.” Starling was the chief of staff for former Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue and now serves as the general counsel of the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce and president of the North Carolina Chamber Legal Institute.
