DEADLINE TUESDAY!

THE FUTURE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

St. Louis, Missouri

Application Deadline: Tuesday, May 24

It’s an age of abundance, one in which the ability of farmers to produce has never been greater. At the same time, the way that food is grown, marketed, sold and, unfortunately, wasted is filled with controversy – over labels, growing methods, GMOs, pesticide and herbicide use, antibiotics, global trade and government regulation. Over four days, journalists will dive into a range of topics. Included will be field trips to an organic farm and to Monsanto’s research facility.

The journalist training is July 24-27, 2016

The all-expenses-paid fellowship covers airfare, ground transportation, hotel costs and most meals. 

Funding for this training is provided by Monsanto, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Pork Board, and the Organic Trade Association.
