Defending Our Food Supply
Posted by: Cindy on December 17, 2008
The safety of our nation’s food supply starts on the farm, but it may not be something that all producers think about.
That’s why Dr. Carol Lorenzen with the University of Missouri is helping get the word out to producers about things they can do to improve our Food Defense system. Some are as simple as making sure gates are locked or putting up no trespassing signs – but they could make a big difference.
Not only could they help deter would-be food terrorists, they could also help producers defend against cattle rustlers or people who just don’t like animal agriculture.
Learn more from Carol in this week’s Missouri Beef Industry Council report.
