Coordinated by the Consumer Federation of America, the National Food Policy Conference is a unique collaboration among consumer advocates, the food industry and government, and a key national gathering for anyone interested in agriculture, food and nutrition policy.

This year’s conference will explore an array of important food policy issues facing consumers and the food industry, including a review of the primary food policy activities under the Obama Administration and what’s yet to come, a discussion of how to design a national food policy, and an exploration of how consumers acquire and process information about food.

An exciting line-up of panel discussions has been added to the agenda covering topics such as the latest Dietary Guidelines report, use by/sell by dates, meat and poultry safety, improving child nutrition, implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act, consumer perspectives on food and technology, and the key issues facing farmers today.
