Join Northeast Recycling Council, 5 Gyres, EarthDay.org and the Center for Biological Diversity for a discussion about the impacts of plastic throughout the industrial food system from production to packaging. Expert speakers will discuss how agricultural plastics affect health, biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution and animal welfare. We will explore the issue in the context of animal agriculture, seafood, and crop production, and leave attendees with a range of proposed solutions from policy to education to procurement.
Part Two: Strategies for Addressing Waste in Animal Agriculture
April 17, 1-2:30PM
Join NERC, Center for Biological Diversity, Earthjustice, Family Farm Defenders, and ReFED for a discussion about waste in industrial animal agriculture from farm to fork. Expert speakers will discuss the scale and impact of waste at different stages of meat and dairy production and disposal and how it affects human health, animal welfare, waterways, climate change and biodiversity. We will explore the limitations of commonly proposed solutions and how we can move forward to create a healthier, more sustainable food system.
