Cliff Becker from CMA Consulting works with the Center for Food Integrity.   He visits with KFEQ Farm Director Tom Brand about the center’s animal agriculture committee and the Kansas Soybean Commission’s involvement.

The Center for Food Integrity’s animal agriculture committee brings together a national network of well-informed, well-prepared, highly motivated organizations and individuals that collaborates to build public trust and confidence in U.S. animal agriculture. That is accomplished through shared values; being the ethical choice for people, animals and the planet; and supporting food choices. Those messages are shared through public speaking, media interviews and social-media engagement. The committee met in Chicago earlier this month, and the Kansas Soybean Commission has a seat at the table because it understands domestic poultry and livestock production is the No. 1 customer for U.S. soybeans. About 98 percent of the soybean meal used in the United States goes into livestock and poultry feeds.
