FARM Thought you would want to know

At the end of March the NIAA is meeting. This is THE meeting that calls the shots for American agriculture for the coming year. The sizzling agenda is increasing regulation in economically tough times.

**There will be a new Traceability White Paper released at the conference.

In their own words:

Building on NIAA's 2011 Annual Conference theme, Consumers' Stake in Today's Food Production: Meeting Growing Production Demands, the 2012 conference will focus on how decreasing resources, both natural and financial, as well as increasing regulations are making it difficult for animal agriculture to advance. With issues such as drought, tight credit, increased capital requirements, environmental regulations, more demanding animal care standards, and misinformation about how animals are raised, animal agriculture is in an important period of change.

The 2012 Annual Conference of the National Institute for Animal Agriculture will explore the many issues facing the industry. We will discuss how animal agriculture can be advanced through understanding the intricacies involved with the limited resources available and continued pressure to further regulate how animals are produced.

This year's conference includes an important and interesting tour of animal agriculture along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.

Are you able to furnish more details? Will you be able to give a status report here after the conference?

People think this doesn't apply to them since they have no farm or ranch, but everyone eats. These attacks on our American Freedoms and way of life affect everyone.

Thanks for the post, I've never heard of this group before!
 
I will keep y'all posted as the conference proceeds as I always upload all the proceedings on my website and wade through all the commentary and power-points. The following is a list of the last few years of agenda's:

ANNUAL MEETING

2011: Consumers' Stake in Today's Food Production: Meeting Growing Production Demands with Integrity
San Antonio, TX
2010: ONE HEALTH: Implications for Animal Agriculture
Kansas City, MO
2009: The Changing Face of Animal Agriculture
Louisville, KY
2008: Animal Care and Well-Being: Facts NOT Fiction
Indianapolis, IN
2007: BioFuels Energy: Animal Agriculture at the Crossroads
Sacramento, CA
2006: Business Continuity and Disaster Recover Planning: Applying a Full-Court Press for Agriculture
Louisville, KY

One really has to go through the power-points from each conference. It gives one a bird's eye view of what they are up to and upcoming legislation and regulation, not to mention biblical implications.

You can find the conference under Solutions, Proceedings, 2012

They participate in the shell game and if they get to many hits they pull the power-points, lectures, and white papers. This happened when the Davos Conference got a bunch of hits from TB. They pulled the content for awhile and I had to track it down at a different location.
