Americans have a lot of questions about how our food is raised, the impact on our health and the health of the planet. Today it seems there are more questions than answers.
Join us today, journalist moderator Claire Shipman and chef John Besh right here on The Food Dialogues – the launch of a new effort to bring together different viewpoints on farming and ranching and the future of food to solve our most challenging problems.
We will be streaming the event live here and on Facebook. Please register to watch the webcast and to participate in the conversation.
