Food does not grow on grocery store shelves; it involves a complex journey from seed to consumer. In our interconnected world, the convergence of nutrition and agriculture is crucial, requiring a multidisciplinary approach to address contemporary challenges. This webinar will explore the relationships between these fields, utilizing insights from the International Food Information Council's (IFIC) Food and Health Survey, and showcasing how farmers work hard to meet consumer demands and how companies connect with the end consumer to deliver nutrition and sustainability.

Participants will gain insights into current consumer perceptions and trends in agriculture. Next, farmers will share their firsthand experiences, discussing the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of agriculture and nutrition. Finally, a representative from a company will illustrate how they deliver nutrition while prioritizing sustainability and health. Join us for this session aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation in addressing pressing issues.
