NIAA
has undertaken an in-depth, strategic look at its
format for program development and delivery for the
future. This requires careful assessment of the
issues for which NIAA is positioned to make a real
difference, to help provide support for an
economically sustainable future for animal
agriculture and address important issues with
respect to food production and consumers. This year
NIAA is planning to launch its roadmap development
with this Roadmap Roundtable Discussion. This
By-Invitation-Only forum will provide an opportunity
for key decision makers and leaders from the array
of interests served by NIAA to come together to
create consensus around critical issues which impact
animal agriculture and the feed/food industry. The
purpose of this session is to begin establishment of
a critical roadmap for the future. Anyone interested
in observing the Roundtable is welcome to do so. |
