What is the public’s most common reference point on animals? Likely very different than yours on a farm. Join this thought-provoking webinar to find ways to transparently discuss contentious issues such as animal welfare. Michele will help you build understanding around issues such as housing, hormones and antibiotics. She’ll give you tips on creating an action plan for you to go beyond preaching to the choir to more proactively talk about the many issues facing animal agriculture.
