What insights can farmers bring to the public health crisis of antibiotic resistance and the obesity epidemic?

On this webinar, we bring together emerging perspectives from farming, soil science and public health from presenters Christine McCullum-Gomez, PhD, a registered dietitian and a nationally recognized expert on food, nutrition and environmental health; Healthy Food Action’s Dr. David Wallinga, MD; and the Izaak Walton League’s Agriculture Program Director Bill Wenzel.

They’ll talk about steps farmers take to improve soil health and resiliency, and the ways in which healthier soil produces healthier food, including links between bacterial flora in the human gut and bacteria in animals, soil and the broader environment. The presenters will also discuss how a broad constituency from farming, public health and the food movement can influence federal conservation programs for conventional and non-conventional growers.
