Wednesday, November 15 8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. * General Session Organic Foods--From Fad to Trend? There is an increasing interest among consumers about where their food comes from, the conditions in which it is grown, and even the people involved in growing it. With the recent introduction of organic foods in Wal-Mart stores, and the growth in the number of producers and food processors selling private label products that are "organic," "whole," or "natural," consumers are given a wider choice of how their food is grown. This session will explore what is behind this interest and why is this trend growing ... or is it? Bio Fuels--Pressure Fueling the Ag Industry Energy prices have certainly been center stage during the recent past. The push to redirect corn and soybeans into the fuel industry has certainly raised questions about the long term viability of satisfying the needs for food, feed and fuel. Critics disagree on the long term ability for agriculture to satisfy the demand. However, they agree that something must be done to reduce dependency on petroleum and increase the use of fuels from renewable resources Noun 1. renewable resource - any natural resource (as wood or solar energy) that can be replenished naturally with the passage of time natural resource, natural resources - resources (actual and potential) supplied by nature . A panel of industry experts impacted by these developments will help us understand the pressures emerging within agriculture to satisfy these needs and what might lay ahead for bio-based fuels.

We're pleased to join the NAFB members as we explore the Frontiers of Change in Agriculture. Food, Fuel, & Feed--Frontiers of Change The output "formula" of agriculture becomes more and more dynamic and diverse. How are the basic "drivers" changing? Will core grain crops be able to supply traditional markets, and how will trait-specific varieties continue to impact cropping? To what extent will emerging bio-fuels alter the equation and markets? And what about implications for the branding and marketing of food and nutrition Food and Nutrition See also cheese; dining; milk. accubation Rare. the act or habit of reclining at meals. alimentology Medicine. thescience of nutrition. allotriophagy Pathology. , as well as other key product and distribution channels (pharmaceutical, industrial, etc.)?
