The Minnesota Ag and Food Summit will be held November 9 in Minneapolis. “Our program committee, our board and our members really wanted to emphasize that agriculture and food is and can be the solution to so many issues facing our country and our state,” said Tamara Nelsen, executive director, Minnesota AgriGrowth Council. “Whether global food security, global fuel security or addressing issues related to climate change, we are the solution and we need to have access to good technology and talent to fulfill that need so that’s the underlying theme of our conference and everything in the agenda flows from that.” The program kicks off with geopolitical analyst Jacob Shapiro discussing the global and domestic issues impacting the farm and food business. AgriGrowth Director of Strategic Engagement Nikki Deyle said there is a lot interest in the program. “Registration is looking great and we are expecting the crowd to be right at that 400 mark; there’s plenty of opportunity to still register and you can even register that day.” Go online for more details.
