The extended early registration deadline for the 2015 Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders’ Summit ends today. After today the cost for registration increases by $50-75.

The Summit will be held May 6-7 and will feature industry experts discussing about how animal agriculture is using technology to rise to the challenge of feeding a growing and hungry world.

“Animal agriculture faces a tough task as we seek to produce enough protein for an exponentially growing planet,” said Kay Johnson Smith, Alliance president and CEO. “By incorporating technology, farmers and ranchers have taken on that challenge while remaining mindful of the environment by decreasing rates of water use and greenhouse gas emissions.”

This is the first year that the Summit is being held outside of the Washington, DC area. This year’s event will explore animal agriculture’s continuous efforts to embrace new technologies that will help feed a growing population while measuring sustainability, engage consumers in innovative ways to bridge the knowledge gap, and highlight initiatives that demonstrate agriculture’s commitment to transparency.
