Alltech releases free, on-demand series about the impact of COVID-19 on agriculture

 

As part of Alltech's effort to provide valuable resources to colleagues, customers and the global agricultural community confronting COVID-19, the company has created a special discussion series, Forging the Future of the Farm & Food Chain. Available online beginning April 13, this free, on-demand series features experts from around the world as they share their insights into how the global pandemic is affecting the agriculture industry's present and future.

"Crises illuminate character, and COVID has highlighted the heroic work undertaken by the global agriculture community to ensure a secure food supply in the midst of such uncertainty," said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech. "We created this series as an expression of our support for this community. In addition to offering valuable information and insights in the context of this COVID challenge, we hope to deliver inspiration - we have an opportunity in this moment to, together, shape the future of the farm and food chain."

The series consists presentations from Lyons and three panel discussions with experts including David McWilliams, economist and professor at Trinity College Dublin; Jessica Adelman, CEO of ESG Results and former executive at Kroger; Jack Bobo, futurist and CEO of Futurity; and Ryan Quarles, Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture.
