Join the food movement: How to get engaged in policymaking

A recent Politico story concluded that the natural food industry has opted out of the lobbying game, relying instead on consumer support. While it’s true that the organic and natural food sector continues to grow, companies that ignore policy do so at their peril.

In this lively and interactive presentation, attorney and food policy expert Michele Simon will explain why natural food manufacturers and retailers should care about the politics of food, and offer specific tips and examples of effective policy engagement. The food movement offers tremendous opportunity for collaboration to make healthier foods more widely available. Come and learn how to get involved.
