Event Information

Despite all the buzzwords and jargon, feeding livestock sustainably involves common-sense practices and simple strategies, many of which farmers have employed for generations. Beef producers in North America have a golden opportunity to lead the way and leave a legacy for the planet that includes preserving nature, protecting soil health, and keeping our cherished Great Plains from becoming a bygone memory.

To support beef producers, World Wildlife Fund and AgriWebb are hosting a virtual discussion explaining the current state of Great Plains plow-up, why this impacts beef producers, and how producers, like you, can be a part of the solution. 

Our panel will: 

• cover and discuss supportive policy 
• demystify “other effective area-based conservation measures” or OECMs
• provide inside information on programs and incentives available today to make the transition easier 

Speakers Include:

• Patrick Lendrum, Sr. Scientist, Northern Great Plains, WWF
• Suzy Friedman, Sr. Director, Food Policy, WWF
• TBD, Rancher Perspectives

Moderated by: 

• Sam Wildman, Senior Program Officer, Sustainable Protein and Feed Systems, WWF
• Nicole Buckley-Biggs, Vice President of Sustainability, AgriWebb
