Workshop V: Retail / Food Service

How will the USDA’s new MyPlate influence consumer behavior in the produce section? 

What role do retailers have on issues related to production agriculture e.g. immigration reform, E-verify, card check,  water, air and pesticide residues?

How can we collaborate as a group on efficiencies that can be connected to logistics, packaging, sustainability, traceability, food safety and other supply chain issues

Join Western Growers Chairman of the Board, Tom Deardorff, II as he moderates this session along with several retail industry veterans who will address these questions and offer valuable insights on the issues most critical to our members.
