A Greener World – Empowering Sustainable Agricultural Solutions
March 10, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Emily Moose, Director of Communications and Outreach for A Greener World, will speak to us about the work of the organization and her role in it. In addition to helping farmers get certifications for animal welfare, grassfed beef, non-GMO, and organic foods, they also help you, the consumer, become informed about what labels mean and how you can help fuel these critical practices with your smart purchases. Understanding food labeling is as important and as confusing as ever. Ms. Moose will provide us with the information we need to be good consumers.
Emily Moose developed a love of agriculture at an early age during summer visits to her cousin’s hog farm in eastern Virginia. She is a graduate of UNC-Asheville and the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Agricultural Leadership Development Program and is based in rural North Carolina. Emily leads AGW’s outreach team throughout the U.S. and Canada, guiding communications and developing new programs and initiatives within the organization–including AGW’s labeling support, volunteer and membership programs.
