Ask Questions About How Food Is Grown And Raised


Food choices are important, right? Questions about how food is grown and raised and how farmers and ranchers provide consumers with a variety of choices can be answered at www.fooddialogues.com or USFRA’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/USFarmersandRanchers"

Get their answers to the tough questions – How are farm animals treated? What are farm animals fed? What are genetically modified crops? How does farming impact our natural resources? And can this impact my food? www.fooddialogues.com/videos shows how food is grown and raised.

According to One2One Network, of which I am a member, here is some info about USFRA:

"America’s farmers and ranchers founded the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) to start and lead an honest dialogue about American agriculture. USFRA has set the table for conversations with Americans to answer their questions about food and food production.

USFRA connects farmers and ranchers with consumers as a way to provide information and insights as to how our food is grown and raised.

USFRA tells the stories of real farmers and ranchers and connects consumers with farmers and ranchers to answer questions.

Active dialogue on USFRA Facebook’s page provides insights for today’s consumers and highlights recent media activity around how food is grown and raised.
