Environmentalism Working WITH Agriculture? [Video]

Oftentimes, environmental organizations use modern Agriculture as a target and a tool for fundraising. Worse, some organizations use their political heft to create hurdles or even do harm to our industry. But not The Nature Conservancy, according to Jack Bobo. Jack joins me to discuss how environmental groups can work with the world’s most important industry to accomplish mutual objectives. He also explains the reality of misguided Ag policy such as the EU’s “Farm to Fork” initiative, which essentially offshores food production to countries with terrible environmental records.Sponsored by Nori nori.com and Pattern Ag pattern.agKeep up with me on social media!https://www.damianmason.com/https://www.facebook.com/DamianMasonProfessionalSpeaker/https://www.instagram.com/damianmasonspeaker/https://twitter.com/DamianPMason/https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianmason/Check out my latest books!https://www.damianmason.com/shophttps://www.damianmason.com/shop/food-fearhttps://www.damianmason.com/shop/do-business-better-traits-habits-and-actions-to-help-you-succeed
