LINCOLN — There is a story being told about agriculture today, but the story is often far from accurate and if believed could have devastating consequences on our ability to feed the growing population. Understanding the role conventional farming must play in the world we face should propel us to defend it vigorously and vocally, but will we? And what might be the consequences if we don’t?
Donnie Smith’s passion for leadership has been the hallmark of his 36-year career in the food business. As president and CEO of Tyson Foods from 2009 to 2016, he led the company to focus on feeding the world great, affordable food, while also making a positive difference in people’s lives. Join us for this lecture on January 9 at 7:00 pm.
